A of 43-year-old realtor, Jimi Folarin has gone missing after being called to inspect a property in Imota, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Folarin is said to have left home at 4:00pm on Wednesday, October 30, in response to a client’s request to inspect properties but has not been reachable since.
His sister, Iremide Omowunmi, who shared details of the situation with Vanguard, confirmed the family’s distress over his sudden disappearance.
Folarin’s phone remains unanswered, raising fears about his whereabouts. His family is urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in locating him.
According to the sister, “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
