Friday, November 1, 2024 - A
43-year-old realtor, Jimi Folarin, has been declared missing after being called
by a client to inspect properties in the Imota area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
His
distraught sister, Iremide Omowunmi, who confirmed the sad development to
Vanguard, said Folarin left the house at exactly 4pm on Wednesday, October 30,
for the property inspection and has not answered his phone since.
“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.
My
brother is a real estate agent who sells land and assists people in buying
land. Around 5pm, 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 10pm 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
While
I was calling him, my brother’s friend was also trying to reach him. 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.
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 said
