Family insist on continuous search for missing Lagos Corps Member

The group of a serving individual from the National Youth Service Corps in Lagos State, Abdulrafiu Imam, has asked the NYSC and the police to heighten the scan for him.

Imam, an alum of Mathematics from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, disappeared on December 24, 2018, after he left the flat he imparted to a companion at the Military Barracks Yaba.

Imam's sister, Kehinde Lawal, told our journalist that his flat mate, who was not around when he gone out, told the family that Imam had appeared of misery of late as a result of a sprained.

She stated, "I don't recognize what prompted his vanishing, since we don't remain together; he remains in Lagos, while I remain in Ibadan. All we know is that we had been attempting to contact him on his telephone days before Christmas and his number showed that it was turned off, and this got us stressed.

"His flat mate revealed to us that he went to the Redemption Camp and when he returned, he saw my sibling's telephone, wallet and garments in the room and reasoned that he had gone out to purchase something.

"Yet, his flat mate ended up fearful in the wake of sitting tight for two days without seeing Imam. One of my sibling's companions, who had been calling his telephone without luckiness, called the flat mate, who disclosed to him he had not seen Imam for some days and that is the manner by which we have been searching for him from that point forward.

"His flat mate disclosed to us that Rafiu (Imam) had been discouraged recently and we didn't know anything about it. He didn't advise us. Rafiu sprained his shoulder at some point back and his flat mate said whenever he took a gander at it, it made him pitiful.

"He sprained the shoulder a year ago while he was remaining with one of our close relatives. He went out for some days and when he returned, he had a sprained shoulder. He was taken to a neighborhood bone setter and his shoulder was disjoined totally so the bone could be set, yet it was not done legitimately."

Lawal included, "When he went to my place in Ibadan before going for the NYSC program in Lagos, I saw the arm and where the ball and attachment should be was not where it was. I took him to the University College Hospital in Ibadan, however the inhabitant specialists were on strike and I instructed him to go to the doctor's facility when he got to Lagos.

"He was told at the healing facility that he expected medical procedure to reproduce the shoulder and this would cost a great deal of cash, yet I guaranteed him that I would pay for the medical procedure at whatever point I got the cash; I never realized that the state of his shoulder could get him discouraged; his flat mate never educated us about his dejection."

Our reporter discovered that Imam's vanishing was accounted for at the Lagos Island Police Station.

Lawal encouraged anyone with helpful data on Imam's whereabouts to answer to the closest police headquarters.

Imam's uncle, Abdulsalami Ishaq, said the family had visited every single conceivable place that he may be.

Ishaq expressed, "We detailed the case at the Sabo Police Station and they sent a flag to their control room and all police headquarters in Lagos State were radioed. We the relatives, have by and by visited 15 confinement focuses, general and showing doctor's facilities and funeral homes, all without much of any result.

"We visited the NYSC secretariat and we met the aide chief, who guaranteed to send a letter to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, and resulting follow-up demonstrated that they have done that since when we called them, they said they had presented the letter to the CP.

"Having depleted all alternatives, we visited the engine stops today (Thursday), since Imam could have chosen to visit his sister without advising her or his companion that stays in Osogbo. We visited the parks where Ibadan and Osogbo bond travelers for the most part board vehicles, however they said they didn't record any mishap amid the merry season. We went to the Federal Road Safety Corps focus at the Sagamu trade and they revealed to us that the main mishap that occurred amid the merry season was on December 29, 2018, and there was no demise recorded."

Ishaq asked the NYSC to accomplish more in discovering Imam than what it was doing at present.

At the point when reached on the phone, the Lagos State Coordinator of the NYSC, Prince Mohammed Momoh, declined to make any remark on Imam's vanishing.

"I don't do paper interviews; I don't answer inquiries on the telephone; on the off chance that you need to talk with me, go to my office. On the off chance that you need any data, go to the secretariat," he said. The representative for the Lagos State Police Command, Chike Oti, said the direction was escalating the look for Imam, including that he would before long be brought together with his family.
