The relative said he suspected foul play from co-workers on the construction site.
Taiwo said:
“His colleagues reported his absence to his mother on the telephone. On Thursday, March 10, I and his mother went to the construction site. On getting there, we made calls and searched everywhere, but we could not find him.
“Since his colleagues had yet to report the case to the police, we decided to report at the Ogombo Police Station, but we were told to come back the following day, Friday, March 11.
“We later wrote a petition to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Abiodun Alabi, who said the case should be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.”
The family had hired a Lagos-based lawyer, Femi Falana, to get to the root of the matter even as the police had commenced a detailed investigation.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said:
“The case was reported at the Ogombo Police Station and they started investigation but because of the seriousness the case deserved, it was transferred to the headquarters for detailed investigation.
“The team handling it at the headquarters is still investigating and soon, I should be able to give you further updates on that case.”
