An Abuja based civil servant, Engineer Alkali Musa
Usman, and his entire family, have been living in sorrow following the disappearance
of their 22-year-old son, Mustapha Alkali Usman.
The distraught father, who spoke with our
correspondent, said that nothing had been heard about Mustafa, since he went
missing on May 12, 2019.
According to Alkali, Mustapha was born with Down
syndrome and couldn’t speak. He was last seen between Dakwa and Deidei axis, Kubwa
District.
Alkali said: “Since Mustapha went missing, there had
been no clue to his whereabouts. We have been living in fear and sorrows. The
most painful thing is that Mustapha was born with Down syndrome. He can hear,
but cannot talk. He can only answer "aye", if you ask him where he is
going in Hausa. People told us they saw him on that particular day between
Dakwa and Deidei, along Kubwa Express Road."
Alkali said that the matter has been reported at
Zuba Police Division, and that signals had been sent to the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) Police Area Command, by old CBN at Garki II.
Alkali added: “We have also contacted family and
friends, but no information had been forth coming. We don't know whether he is
alive or not. I cannot explain what we are going through right now.”
Uncle of the missing man, Mr. Aliyu Musa, said: “It
is indeed a sad moment for the family. The major challenge is that Mustapha
cannot speak. We don't want to believe that he is dead. We’re not sure of what
really happened. We don’t know whether he had been abducted, missing or just
strayed far from home. We’re appealing to members of the public to report to
the nearest police station if they see him. He does not attend school because
he has speech problem. As it is now, we cannot concentrate on anything because
everyone is worried. He needs someone to take care of him."
