A Nigerian lady has shared the heartbreaking story of how her brother, Great Ozoemelam, went missing a year ago and how some criminal minded persons threatened her family and even scammed them while searching for him.
In a Twitter thread, the distraught lady, Biibii said that her brother went missing on July 27, 2022 and that efforts to find him have been quite heartbreaking for them as some persons have seized the opportunity to exploit them and even made insensitive remarks to their faces.
She stated that some criminal minded persons contacted them with claims that they had him with them and asked them to pay bitcoin for a supposed ransom but it turned out that they were fake.
Biibii said others even sent threat messages to them falsely claiming they had their brother and would harm him if they fail to pay a ransom.
She said they got scammed by the assailants and that till this moment her brother is yet to be found.
If you have not gotten a private investigator, please do. There are credible ones in Nigeria. This is from experience. I can’t start making suggestions here on what to do. I strongly assume you must have done all those already. I pray Great is fine. What Great does not know is that the pain is more at your end than his. Stay strong for him.

If someone is missing in Nigeria, it’s a high chance that the person is dead. I’ve been in her shoes and the wound never heals. Missing people rarely get found here. Where did he go missing? What happened? Might help to give more details, but pray to God to find peace, closure and healing.
