The Okuneye family in Ijebu East local government area of Ogun state has pleaded with a missing relative, Mr Muyiwa Okuneye to come out of hiding in order to set their mind at rest.
In a statement made available to Blueprint in Abuja Thursday, which was signed by a Mr Seyi Okuneye on behalf of the family, the family said Muyiwa is believed to be hiding as a result of a property issue that almost claimed his life.
He nonetheless said Muyiwa is the only son of his late father, whose presence is needed in the polygamous family, but has been in hiding since 2016; after a failed attempt on his life, even as he said the incident has been reported to the appropriate authorities.
The statement reads: “The entire family of Okuneye in Ijebu East local government of Ogun state hereby plead with the general public and well wishers to please inform Mr Muyiwa Okuneye that the issue of the property dispute, which led to threat on his life, has been officially reported to the appropriate authority. A publication was made in 2016 to that effect.
“However, he is yet to be found and the family is still looking forward to positive results. Muyiwa fled his residence on the 3rd of March, 2016 after a failed murder attempt was carried out on him and has been in hiding since then. He is the only son of late Chief Okuneye, who has a polygamous family, so his presence is needed in the family.”
