A 30-year old man, Vincent Igiri from Benue State has been declared missing in Ilu-Alaye near Araromi-Obu in Odigbo local government area of Ondo State.

Sources hinted that the man who is a part-time commercial motorcycle operator carried passengers to Abigi village in the water side area of Ogun state on the last ‘Ileya’ day and have not returned to his base since then.

One of his brothers, Egbodo Phillips told The Nation that the missing father of three children left his home around 7pm on the fateful day to pick the unknown passengers.

He said the family members have contacted Police in Abigi and Araromi-Obu on the matter but yet to get inkling on his whereabouts since.

Another relative of the missing man, Sunday Silas said they had combed several adjoining villages in Ogun state waterside, stressing that he personally reported the case at Ijebu-Ode Area Command.

He however said the Area Commander-in-charge directed him back to Araromi-Obu Police Division in Ondo state.

Silas said Vincent’s disappearance since about three weeks ago has brought untold hardship to his wife, children and other family members.

He urged the Police and other security agents to rescue the missing man.

Sources at the State Police Command in Akure, the state capital said the case has not been reported at the Command for necessary action.
