“I became worried when he did not return home by 9pm. I called his mobile line severally, he didn’t pick.
“I called my brother-in-law to help me call him. After a while, he called back to say my husband’s phone was switched off.
“When I dialed it, it was indeed switched off.
“I thought he did not want to come home and didn’t know how to tell me.
“The next day, I dialed his number again and it was still switched off. That was when I started calling his friends and they all said they didn’t see him.
“I went to the nearest police station in the company of some of my husband’s friends to lodge a complaint on his disappearance.
“We were advised to go lyaganku Police Division.
“At the Division, the officers said we should go to their control room, where his information was collected and they called all the police stations in Oyo State to know if he was in police custody.
