The family of Daniel Ogoh, a postgraduate student at a foreign institution who is thought to have visited Nigeria recently has gone missing, with his whereabouts shrouded in mystery

The source also added that Ogoh had no criminal records against him, his name was on the manifest of people who came and had been cleared by the appropriate authorities.

Police investigation continues with no leads

Attempts to locate him using his phone numbers have likewise proven unsuccessful. The family was alarmed by the dire possibilities, so they started a mad hunt for him and called the police.
