Ghanaian Man Missing After Attending TB Joshua's Church in Lagos (Pictured)
Category: Bizarre & Strange News
A Ghanaian, Dotse Darekey has reportedly gone missing after he came to
Nigeria for special prayers at TB Joshua's church in Lagos State
Nigeria.
According to Punch, the 59-year-old Dotse, who worked in an oil company
in Accra, Ghana, had come to Lagos to attend a prayer programme at the
Synagogue Church of All Nations, Ikotun.
He was said to have arrived Lagos in the company of a friend Don Emmanuel on Thursay May 5th. They were reported to have lodged at a hotel in the Ikotun area.
It was learnt that the duo had gone for a service at SCOAN and were walking out of the auditorium,
when the engineer got lost in the crowd and is yet to be found.
Narrating what happened to Punch, his friend Emmanuel said he had
assumed that Dotse had decided to return alone to Ghana, until he
(Emmanuel) was called on the telephone by Dotse’s family members that
they had yet to see him.
He said:
“This is my second time in Lagos. I am a SCOAN member in Ghana. I come to Lagos for prayers. Dotse and I came to Lagos on May 5 and we checked into a hotel not on the SCOAN premises.
“We had been going for several prayer sessions. On Sunday, after the church service ended, there were a lot of people coming out. In that process, I discovered he was no longer with me. I went back into the building to check, but he was not there. He was not with a mobile phone.
“I alerted some of the church ushers, who said nobody was found. I thought that he had taken another route and gone to the guest house. I got to the hotel, but he was not there as well.
“There was little SCOAN could do since it was not their guest house we lodged in. I went to the police station on Monday and reported the matter. The police took my statement. But since May 9, neither I nor his family members in Ghana have got any update.
“He did not return to Ghana because his family members called me that he had not returned. The Ghanaian High Commission is also aware of this incident.”
The engineer’s younger brother, Jacob Dzrekey, said that the family
members in Ghana were distraught, urging the police to investigate the
case.
He said:
“He has three children. He had some challenges and he came for special prayers. But nobody has seen him ever since then.
“The family members are distressed. His company in Accra has been communicating with us to use all channels in Lagos to get him back.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos,
confirmed the incident, adding that the family had not reported back at
the police station.
She said:
“The Ghanaian had some mental challenges and was brought to SCOAN for deliverance. He, however, escaped to an unknown destination. The complainant dropped the victim’s picture and left with a police extract. Ever since then, they have yet to report back at the station.”
A member of the SCOAN media team, Patrick Iwelunmor, said the church
authorities would meet over the matter on Friday (today) and get back to
Punch's correspondent.
He said:
“I just heard about this incident. The church authorities have been given your contact. They will get back to you after meeting on Friday.”
