Alex Afosa was last seen in the month of June, 2013, saying that before
his disappearance, his life has been under threat. His words, “Afosa is a
painter by profession. He has been accused of murder by the family of
his late colleague, Emade Omoruyi whom while working in a building site
fell from a ladder and died on the spot. Ever since the incident, the
Afosa family has had no peace as one of the attacks on the family
claimed the life of his father”.

Edokpaye, while lamenting that the police has not been of good
assistance, stated that the Omoruyi family has vowed to kill Afosa in
order for the matter to be brought to rest. He appealed to members of
the public who have information on Afosa’s whereabouts to reach Edokpaye
