My brother (18yrs) was kidnapped on the 1st of April (his birthday) after he was called in pretense to come and look at a work (carpentary work)that they want him to help them do. We were contacted by he adopters on the same day with his number and they have been collecting money constantly ever since which different account numbers and pos accounts.( All information abt the various account numbers are readily available upon request).
“It’s been about 2 months now and they have stopped communication with us after constantly calling and receiving money for four months straight. We got the police involved from day one and paid for tracking like two times (at iyaganku Ibadan and with amotekun). They just collected the money and didn’t seem to do anything abt it till this day.
“I have tried posting in twitter when all this first happened but nobody saw it cus I have no following on Twitter.
“Pls I just want you help me post his picture so that I can locate my brother ( dead or alive). It’s been 6 months of sleepless night and trouble in my family. My family and I will really appreciate if you can help us.”
