Mr Olumide Openaike, a staff member of a microfinance bank in Kemta Oloko, Abeokuta, who had been missing since Wednesday, January 17, has been located in Mokwa, Niger State. The missing banker’s wife, Temitope, who also works at a microfinance bank in Onikolobo, Abeokuta, shared the news with reporters on Thursday.
“I am happy to tell you that my husband has been found in a place called Mokwa in Niger State. He called me on Tuesday afternoon. He got the phone from one of the residents there because he said those who abducted him collected his phone. We then told him to make a report at the police station there; the police officer on duty who spoke to us said he was in Mokwa. Transportation money was then arranged and sent to him; he got to Ibadan yesterday, Wednesday, where he slept. His family members are at Ibadan. He will be back in Abeokuta today,” Temitope stated.
Earlier in the week, Temitope had reported that her husband, who left home for his workplace on Wednesday, January 17, had failed to return home. The spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, SP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident, stating that the police were aware of the case and were spreading the message to help locate Mr Olumide Openaike and reunite him with his family.
