Another missing person: 13-year-old boy goes missing while urinating

A 13-year-old Noah Oyekanmi, has gone missing after he allegedly went outside to urinate in the Isheri, Olowora area of Lagos State. It was gathered that the boy had been brought from Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State to stay with his elder brothers – Winner and David – on Adebo Ademehin Street in Olowora, Lagos, but went missing the following day at about 2pm.

The matter was said to have been reported at the Isheri Police Division.

Our correspondent learnt that Noah had 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.

Winner, who is a student of a polytechnic in Edo State, said the family had searched for the boy without success, adding that Noah was the last child of the family.

“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.”
