Chiedozie
Azuike, a 17-year-old who recently gained admission into a private
university in Enugu state, has been declared missing. Punch reports
that Chiedozie went missing on the day he was to resume in the
school. The distraught mum of the missing undergraduate, Maureen Azuike,
says she believes that her son was hypnotised because strange things
had been happening around him before his disapperance. She said
Chiedozie left her house on Monday with the intention of going to school
to resume. She however returned home and found his phone, the money she
gave him and also his school documents at home. When she called the
school to find out if he was there, she was informed he was not in
school.“After paying the necessary fees, I begged his former lesson
teacher to help me take him to the school since I was busy. The teacher
had previously taken him to the school for registration on two occasions
and December 4 was when he was supposed to resume in the university
finally. I had told the teacher that he would help us to take him to the
school and he said there was no problem.“On Monday night when I got
back from work, I told Chiedozie to get his things ready that he would
be going to school the next morning with his teacher. He asked me the
time the teacher would be coming and I told him to get ready by 7am.“He
had been at home all this while and he usually slept all day and watched
TV at night; so, that night, I discovered that he was not sleeping as
usual and I told him to go and sleep because of the journey he would
embark on in the morning.”When I wanted to do a change of course for
him, he said he had lost his SIM card, so I gave him my second SIM so
that he could put it in a phone that had been at home all this while.
That morning, I gave him the SIM and the sum of N10,000 to spend for the
week; I also gave him extra N15,000 wrapped in a paper to give to the
teacher so that he would use it to buy provisions for him when they get
to Enugu since I didn’t have the time to buy them for him.“Around
7.30am, I left the house and I told him to wait for his teacher; his
other siblings were also at home that day. At about 9.20am, the teacher
called me that he was in our house waiting for my son and that his
siblings told him that Chiedozie had gone out with his bag. I was
surprised because I told him to wait for the teacher; so, the teacher
suggested that he would go and check the two parks that they use
whenever they travelled together. One is the Peace Park and the second
one is the ITC. He went to the two parks and called me that he did not
see him.”Panicking, she called the school and was told he had not
reported. When she got home, she found the money she gave to him and his
phone with all his call logs deleted.“The next day, I called the school
again and they said they had not seen him, so I went to the police
station and the fire service station in Owerri and the person I met at
the police station just took my statement and said the officer who would
handle the case would call me in the morning. A woman called me on
Thursday morning and I went to the station to see her and I gave her his
passport photograph and wrote a statement on what happened.The next
day, I was asked to bring N15,000 so as to enable them send signals to
all the police stations in the state. I noticed that someone had used a
sharp object to tear my children’s window a few weeks before Chiedozie
went missing and the children alerted me to it. I believed he was
manipulated out of the house even though I used to quarrel with him if
he did something wrong. He didn’t have any friend, but two months ago,
he told me that he closed his Facebook account, and I asked him why, but
he said nothing, but I think some people were disturbing him there. I
think he was manipulated out of the house because of the recent
occurrence in my house of people flashing light into my room and my
children’s room net being torn with a sharp object.”The matter has since
been reported to the police.17-year-old goes missing on resumption day at Enugu private university
