This guy looks like someone in his mid thirties

If this guy was actually in SA for 23 years then how old was he when he left Nigeria?

Some aspects of this story do not add up

Baronthecelebri:
That's why I distance myself from family

Xannadu:
I think the man brought it on himself sha.
A big shot like that could not at least hire an agent to build house for him, instead he trusted his family. Let's say there's nothing wrong with that. How about at least coming around once in a while to inspect this so called property they're building for him? South Africa to Lagos is just about 6hrs flight, he couldn't make that once every few years to see what was going on? And what documents did they send him for the land they bought, did he get an independent person to verify the documents?
Trusting family blindly can be most times worse than trusting a total stranger.

Rechargeam247:
Agent indeed, just pray you can get sincere and honest people whenever you need to get anything done.

ImoleNaija:
Property or no property, that man does not look okay.

He should be in a rehab.

dederocs:
How doesn't he look okay, he talks well...so if he is not okay can't they seek his counsel before locking him up against his will?

You are very gullible.

Santalpharay:
My humble opinion oo. That man doesn't sound fully ok to me. Unless the ordeal with the family members has made him traumatized

Xannadu:
Lol. Pray you don't find yourself in his position.
No matter how rich, smart, intellectual or soft spoken you are, once you find yourself in front of a psychiatrist, you'd understand the true meaning of the phrase "everything you say or do will be used against you"

ImoleNaija:
That prayer is for those who do drugs, abeg.

I don't do drugs.

BigBrother54321:
I have an acquaintance in SA who knows him personally and he attested to the fact that the man has been battling drug abuse issues.

That aside, the family has some explanations to do to clear the air on his accusations.

internationalman:
Ironically, the south Africans we like to taunt as being xenophobic didn't harm him all those years, but the hypocritical Nigerians are the ones with evil intentions towards their own.

Most Nigerianns are terribly wicked and corrupt and we all magically expect a Saint to be elected among us to lead us..

Hotfreeze:
If na them Yamuri, them go kill am as them dey kill themselves.

yahoodetector:
The same way they want to grab the properties of Igbos in the South West.

These people are evil!

Gerrard59:
Preach for those at the back to hear. Every day South Africans are xenophobic yen yen yen.....

ImoleNaija:
And you're more gullible.... believing a drug addict's claim.

Man Returns to Nigeria After 23 Years, Family Declares Him Mad to Steal His Property

A South Africa-based Nigerian man returned to Nigeria after 23 years to claim the property he had been sending money for. However, his family took him to an Islamic cleric (Alfa), where he was held against his will and labeled a madman.

The man, who introduced himself as Bayo Salami, explained that he is based in Cape Town, South Africa, and owns a business called Kuvuki Empire.

He is also a top show promoter in South Africa and has organized major events for popular Nigerian artists such as Davido, Wizkid, M.I, and Banky W. To verify his claims, he stated that people could find him on social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube under his company name.

Further explaining his ordeal, Bayo revealed that upon arriving in Nigeria, he asked his family about his properties. They claimed the properties were still under development, but he chose not to argue and simply requested to return to South Africa.

However, his family insisted on taking him to an Alfa for prayers, saying it would bring him God’s blessings. Trusting them, he agreed. But upon arriving, the cleric asked him to enter a room, supposedly for prayers. To his shock, the cleric suddenly pushed him inside and locked the door.
Inside, he found other individuals who had been held there for over a year in terrible living conditions. Bayo was kept there against his will for 17 days.

When asked how he survived, he explained that his family occasionally brought him food, sometimes twice a day.

As for why he was taken there, his family claimed it was because he smoked cigarettes. Expressing his disbelief, he said, “I have been to Dubai, where they don’t drink alcohol but smoke cigarettes. Nowhere in the Quran or Bible is smoking cigarettes forbidden. I am not a drunk.”

Watch the video to hear him recount his shocking experience at the hands of his own family in Nigeria.
