Jimi Folarin, a 43-year-old realtor, has gone missing under suspicious circumstances after being summoned by a client to inspect properties in the Imota area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The alarming incident has left his family and friends desperate for answers.
Folarin’s sister, Iremide Omowunmi, revealed the timeline of events leading up to her brother’s disappearance.
“At about 4 PM, my brother called me to say that the clients he was waiting for had contacted him to come and inspect the properties. This was exactly at 4 PM,” she recounted.
As the hours passed, concern grew. “Around 5 PM, I tried calling him to see if he had arrived, but although the phone rang, he did not pick up. I thought maybe he was busy with the clients, so I stopped calling. It wasn’t until 10 PM that I tried reaching him again, but he still didn’t respond. I then texted him on WhatsApp, but he didn’t reply either, which is unlike him,” Omowunmi explained.
Adding to the mystery, a friend of Folarin’s was also attempting to reach him, when a strange number called inquiring about Folarin.
“After a while, a strange number called my brother’s friend, asking who he wanted to speak to. When my brother’s friend questioned the caller, they immediately hung up,” she noted.
Determined to find her brother, Omowunmi took matters into her own hands.
“This morning, I called that strange number, and the person answered. But when I asked for Folarin, my brother, they abruptly ended the call. I have reported the case to the Gbogbo Police Station in Ikorodu,” she stated, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
