‘we don’t know why the suspect has not been arrested’  family of man who got missing at Lagos carnival cries out (‘there is nothing we can do’ Police)
 
When 53-year-old Kingsley Osanrenren aka Cello left his 42 Bello street, Ikosi-Ketu, Lagos home on the 26th of  December, 2022 for a carnival, he was looking forward to an exciting new year, but as fate would have it, six months after, Cello’s whereabout remains unknown causing sadness and fear to his family and friends.
His elder brother, Adebisi Temitope while addressing journalists in Lagos wept profusely as he begged Nigerians to help the family unravel the mystery behind his disappearance.
In his words ‘if he is dead, at least we should see the corpse and bury him, he has been missing since December, this is June and still no news. Nigerians should come to our aid’.
 Kingsley was reported to have attended a carnival in Ikosi area of Ketu, Lagos on the 26th of December, 2023 and was later seen at a popular car wash beside the Conoil fuel station along the Lagos/Ibadan expressway and had  disappeared since then.
The case was reported at the Ketu Police station where some suspects were arrested and later released before the family transferred the case to Panti, Lagos where the suspects were  re arrested and also released to the dismay of family members.
The suspect, Chinedu on the run!
 
three suspects, Oba, Oje and Tobi were arrested in connection with the missing person case. Tobi and Oba were arrested as they were squatters with the missing person, surprisingly they failed to report that he was missing and gave misleading statements to the police two months after the incident.
Another suspected, Oje was arrested. He was in posession of the missing man’s debit card and interestingly it was shown in the missing person’s statement of account that the suspect used his ATM card multiple times after he was declared missing.
The main suspect, Chinedu was with the missing man’s phone. Tracking showed that Chinedu’s phone and the missing person’s phone were within the same zone. Chinedu escaped to Imo State before he could be arrested. He was alleged to be the last person to have seen the missing ‘Cello’.
Chinedu was a worker at the car wash where the missing person was last seen and the family also alleged one Chief Razak Olokoba, the owner of the car wash to be disrupting the investigation and facilitated the suspect’s escape.
Tracking of missing person’s phone
Another family member, Eniola who had been going to the police station regularly to monitor the case claimed she is frustrated with the whole process as the police keeps delaying. in her words, the distraught young woman cried
‘every time I go to the station they take money from me, even the IPO collected 100,000 Naira for tracking his phone.  His phone was tracked to Chinedu, now that the suspect has escaped to Imo State where it was said that the tracking showed  the phone was still with him, but the police said they can’t go to Imo to arrest him because of the crisis in the state. Chinedu is the main suspect, all indications proved that and we are still wondering why he has not been arrested till now’.
‘nothing we can do’ Police reacts!
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin was contacted and he referred the family to the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the SCID, DCP Waheed Ayilara who told the family that there is nothing the Police can do if it’s a missing person case.
Family Pleads With Nigerians
 
Kingsley’s family through their lawyer, Sodeinde is begging Nigerians for help. The lawyer said the missing person has an aged father, James Ibieorutomwen  who is on sickbed and is always asking after his eldest child.
The lawyer cited the case of hotelier, Rahman Adedoyin who has been sentenced for the murder of Timothy Adegoke while begging the police to do their job and put the family at peace.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.

Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.

Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.

This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.

A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.

Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
