On Wednesday, Osemudiamen’s father, Julius Idemudia, said his son was last seen on the evening of Friday, May 9.
According to him, Osemudiamen, who worked in the Point-of-Sale unit of a bank, had left the office alongside a colleague for an appointment with a senior staff member at the bank’s headquarters in CMS, Lagos Island.
However, upon their arrival at CMS, the scheduled meeting was cancelled by the official. The two colleagues then decided to head home.
Idemudia said after parting ways with his colleague, Osemudiamen was neither seen nor heard from again.
He said, “Osemudiamen has been missing since Friday, May 9. He resumed at his office in Ikota that morning and later planned to go to the head office with a colleague after work for an appointment they had with a senior staff member.
However, while they were on their way, the official called to say he wouldn’t be able to see them until Monday.
Osemudiamen has been missing since Friday, May 9. Our hearts are heavy with worry. This is so unlike him, and we are deeply concerned for his safety and well-being.
“When they eventually got to CMS, they parted ways. As usual, Osemudiamen was expected to board a bus to Iyana Ipaja, and from there, take another bus to Igando.
But when it started getting late and we hadn’t heard from him, we became worried. After 24 hours of no contact, we raised the alarm.
Since then, we haven’t heard from him. Our hearts are heavy with worry. This is so unlike him, and we are deeply concerned for his safety and well-being.”
Idemudia said the incident was reported at the Igando Police Station which is close to the Akesan area where Osemudiamen lives.
“We have reported the case of a missing person at the Igando Police Station and efforts are ongoing to meet with the Chief Security Officer of the bank for further probe on his disappearance.”
