Family tackles gov’s aide on undergraduate disappearance

The family of a 29-year-old man, Anthony Olatunfe, has been in distress after his disappearance from home two months ago.

His father, Augustine Olatunfe, told Punch that Anthony lived with the Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Administration, Michael Ojomo, on the Victoria Island.

He said Ojomo had called him on the telephone on December 12, 2019 to ask if he saw Anthony, who had yet to return from an errand he sent him on.

The 68-year-old noted that the governor’s aide claimed to have reported the matter at the Bar Beach Police Station.

He said when operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad called the son’s phone number, it was answered by a man who introduced himself as Prophet Ejiro Atupa Ologonla, adding that the cleric said he saw the phone at the Bar Beach.

The victim’s father said the prophet claimed to have sighted Anthony taking off his clothes to bathe at the Bar Beach around 1.30am.

Augustine said the suspect also indicted security guards at the beach, which led to their arrests.

He urged the police to investigate Ojomo, saying he was the prime suspect in the case.

Ojomo, in his reaction, insisted that he reported the case at the Bar Beach Police Station twice. Punch
