In cases like this, your first suspect should be the Nigeria police.

Nawaoo

Since May

Na watin dey fear me pass be that. Too much disorder at that gate and too many of them. No one can tell me that many drivers there are all registered and monitored .

Arrival is so chaotic at that MM airport.

Chithauri:
How would somebody be arriving without making arrangements for pickup with family

Mumu talk from people who haven't travelled before.
If he your family is in Bayelsa or Imo state, and you're arriving in lagos, you make arrangement for pickup with your family??
They'll have to travel to lagos to wait for you because you're an infant who doesn't know how to manoeuvre in his own country?

Originalsly:
Why were they calling the authority ahead of his arrival? ... I believe that's when a plan was hatched to rob and most likely kill him. I strongly believe whoever he spoke to was behind his disappearance ... they planned for him. No video tapes?.. because of privacy? Lame excuse.

Where did you get this wrong version of information from?
No one mentioned in the entire video that they called any authority BEFORE his arrival.
How would that have been possible when the family didn't even know his arrival date

Kingbuhari:
I wonder why Nigeria is going to do things like others, they are just behaving like 4th world country, in sane clime unregistered state taxis are not allow in international airport, CID in Dubai jumped at us for trying to use unregistered taxi, my luck that day we were tourists, but the Pakistani car lift they took him along .. i arrived e in big shit..... They round me as if flies wey see hot shit .... I picked one and told him to take me to nearby hotel I can stay the one that is not far from airport because I have to fly home by 7am, this guy passed all the hotel around and took me to one hotel i checked is the burglar proof, the door looks like something that they can open from outside...I felt uncomfortable i started telling my family my situation in e and might still sell me to Ogun body parts traders

If you knew Lagos so well, why couldn't you book a hotel prior to arrival in today's digital age? BTW, which country do you reside in the abroad?

I travel often.
So, who picks you from Imo or Bayelsa?
Even if they are not picking you, he didn't say, "I'll see you on Sat" to his mom or brother?

The truth is parts of Naij aren't particularly safe right now. You have to move different.

ijebosb:
Without his consent?
Banks would have more security than that.

With a police report and as a relative, he has that access

why has any one not mention the camera at the airport to ascertain his movement at the airport, and it could probably show the taxic pick up

Saddening, I pray he is found alive by God's grace.

I would think you would need some sort of court order, esp. if he had an account in the UK.

From Ikeja Airport to Festac is a joke, and I find that hard to believe. You asked for a nearby hotel and all the plenty long travel to Festac seemed "near" to you? When there are hundreds of hotels, big and small, in the same Ikeja and adjoining areas around.

you can believe whatever you want but u heard my story so learn from it

I think the lesson is to make arrangements before landing.
There is no way I would allow any taxi driver to just take me to a random hotel esp. in Festac.
You can easily book a hotel online that's located within a couple miles of the airport.
I usually do that when I need to take an early local flight after I land.

You can easily find a good hotel online. Just do a hotel search based on distance from Lagos airport on your favorite hotel site. I usually do foreign/western hotel chains, but any with great reviews will do. They can send a car to the airport to pick you up. When you get to the hotel ask them to ring you in the AM for your flight and ask for a car to be available in the morning.

The closeness to the airport takes away the stress of meeting traffic and missing the local or international flight.

Long forgotten relatives? I see.

You have a good point. I hope the twin is alive mehn. See P-square as dem dey, if Peter hear say dem don kidnap Paul, na then you go know say nothing like twin bond.

lol ... Yeah extended relatives.... Aunts and cousins.. anyway such thing will not happen to me again, the experience was traumatic and stressful

I can imagine how traumatic that was. I mean there are good people out there, but it only takes one bad person.
But sometimes bad experiences that end well are blessings, they give us perspective.

I hate to say this, but I would also be cautious of those extended (newly found) relatives unless you absolutely can say you trust them.
I have a couple of close cousins/family I trust implicitly, the rest I let them know I'm around only when I'm fully settled.

It sux that's how we have to move.

May God Help out dear nation! 🙏

Nwaokunkpara:
Security is at it poorest in Nigeria and human life is just taking for granted by those in power
