Mrs. Openaike stated, “We both left our place of abode, Bode Olude, Abeokuta on that fateful Wednesday,” in an interview with our correspondent on Sunday. After getting into the taxi to go to Elega junction, we both left. He was still attempting to hail a cab to get to his place of employment at Kemta Oloko, Abeokuta, when I left in a taxi to go to Onikolobo, where I work for a microfinance bank.
I tried to call him at around ten in the morning, but his phone rang. I kept working because I assumed he was busy, and when I got home in the evening, he wasn’t there. His phone was off, and he never returned home.
“His coworkers at work also reported that when they called him, his phone rang before being turned off. He never made it back home after failing to arrive at his place of employment that day.
I visited the police station in Adatan, Abeokuta, and reported the incident to the police at Bode Olude. Though the family is concerned, we have faith that God will bring him back. We are depending on our security services to assist us in finding him.
Our correspondent received confirmation of the incident from SP Omolola Odutola, the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command.
According to Odutola, “On Wednesday, January 17 at approximately 7 p.m., one Temitope reported the case of a missing person involving one Olumide Openaike. It is reported that he has a fair complexion. The state’s police units are already aware of this, and we will continue to disseminate the word in order to generate enough attention in order to eventually locate and reunite him with his family.
