How my brother went missing after early morning Bolt ride – Olusola

Jeremiah Olusola, elder brother of a missing 400-level undergraduate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), James Olusola, describes James disappearance after an early morning ride as a mystery.

According to him, James left their base in Ondo State for Lagos to continue his studies at the University of Lagos, Akoka.

Jeremiah, in an interview with PUNCH said the family stopped hearing from James since Friday, 9th of May.

“So, I had to go to Lagos on Saturday, and the following day, throughout that day, his number remained unreachable. I just thought I should go and see what was going on with him at the school, so I went to his hostel on campus, named Biobaku Hostel.

“We went to the hostel. I alerted the hostel porters first, then they directed the matter to the Alpha Base security, which is the security agency of UNILAG. We reported the incident and told them that we had been trying to get in touch with our brother. They directed us to the security base of the school. We went there that same night on Saturday, and from there, they gave us a letter to the Sabo Police Station.

“We found out that his email address was logged onto my sister’s phone. So, while we were checking to see if we could find a lead to where he could have gone, we found out that he ordered a Bolt driver from UNILAG on that Friday morning around 6:40 a.m. to Idumota.

“The police did their investigation, brought the Bolt driver, and questioned him. He then took us to where he had picked him up earlier and where he had dropped him off. I mean the take-off and the drop-off points, yet we couldn’t find any useful information that could help us.

“But the Bolt driver mentioned that my brother had made a call while in the car, which suggested that he was probably going to meet someone somewhere, but that detail did not show in the phone tracking that we did earlier.

“He likely made the call on his WhatsApp because that was where he used to make most of his calls, so that is where we are currently with the police. I can’t get all the details from WhatsApp to see how we can get the number at least to see when he called, who he called, and the number that called him that particular day,” he told PUNCH.
