The Lagos police command has reacted to the trending video of a Nigerian mum, Adesola Iyomaterie, pleading for public assistance in finding her only son, Ovie Kehinde Iyomaterie, who she said has been missing since May 13.
In the video she recorded, the distraught mum said her son has never behaved in such a manner, in which he remains incommunicado. She appealed to President Tinubu, his son Seyi, Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos Commissioner of police and goodhearted Nigerians to help her search for her son. She stated that her son has been missing now for 25 days and has no idea whether he is still alive or de@d.
‘’We have gone to so many places to search for him of which we know he has never behaved this way, He can never do a day without calling.This is the 25th day now he has not called. No call from him. He has not moved this way, This is so strange.
We have gone to the police to report. They have called out searches. We have gone to police stations all over as they instructed. We have gone to the prisons. We have gone to the hospitals.
Now, I don’t know what is happening to him so I am begging Nigerians, on the Nigerian police, the CP of Police Lagos state, the Lagos police PR, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, please help me to search for my son.
I am calling on Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on our dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his son Seyi Tinubu, please help me find my son. He is the only son that I have.
Please help me! Please help me to search for his boy! I don’t know has happened to him if he has been killed. I don;t even know if he is alive. Please have mercy on me. Please!!!!”
Reacting to her plea, the Lagos state police command in a statement released, said it is aware of the viral video and reassures the mother, the general public and all Lagosians, that every necessary action is being taken to locate him and reunite him unhurt with his family.
‘’The Command has activated all relevant investigative teams including the special tactical squads of the Command and all Police Divisions and Area Commands throughout Lagos State and those of other Police Commands contiguous to the state to ensure that the missing young man is returned back safe to his family.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, before now had directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police, State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba to take over the case and carry out a discreet investigation into the matter to ensure that the missing person is found.”
The command appealed to anyone with credible information that could assist in further investigation of the case to come forward and get across to the Public Relations Officer of the Command or contact the nearest police station.
