A boy, 13, Noah Oyekanmi has disappeared in broad day light from their residence in the Isheri, Olowora area of Lagos state, after he went outside to urinate. He was brought to Lagos from Edo State by his brothers, Winners and David who wanted him to stay with them and start attending school. He came to Lagos on January 11 and disappeared the next day.

Noah reportedly told other children in their apartment that he was going to urinate outside. However, after some minutes, and the children did not see Noah they alerted the adults in the house. Speaking with Punch, the brother, Winner, who is a student of a polytechnic in Edo State said, “We stay in the Isheri Olowora area. I was the one who brought the boy from home on January 11. He was to stay with us and start schooling. On that day around 2pm, I was sleeping in the sitting room. The television was on, and children were watching and playing.

“Noah told the other children that he was going to urinate outside. It was after some minutes when he did not return that the children raised the alarm. That was how we started to search for him. Our house does not have any canal or a well where he could have slipped into. Also, nobody saw anyone taking him away. It has been several weeks now and it is just a mystery to us that Noah disappeared like that. “After reporting at the police station, we made other efforts to search for him, but he has not been found.” The matter was said to have been reported at the Isheri Police Division.
