Three weeks after they went missing in the Solomade, Ikorodu area of Lagos State, two teenage boys, 19-year-old Daniel Odugbo and 17-year-old Channing Odugbo, were found around the Redeemed Christian Church of God’s Redemption Camp, on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
However, the duo who were found in tattered clothes lost the memory of what happened during those weeks in captivity of unknown persons.
A report by Punch said the duo were sent on separate errands for their parents on Wednesday, September 9, 2015 when they suddenly went missing.
The parents made efforts to find the missing duo to a point that they reported the development to different police stations in the state.
Speaking about the incident, the teenagers’ father, Moses Odugbo said he was contacted by a motorcycle rider on Saturday, October 3, 2015 who saw them along the road.
He said, “We have found them. A motorcycle rider called me on Saturday morning and said he saw them on the road and people were running away from them because they were in rags.
“He said they beckoned on him (motorcyclist) for help and though he was initially hesitant, he decided to give them his phone when they said they could still remember my number.
“I got there around 12 noon and saw them. They looked like mad people. They told me they had gone to the ATM together on the day I sent them on errands.
“But as they were coming home, they met a man on the road who asked them for direction to a particular address.
“They said that was the last thing they could remember. I took them to my brother’s house at Ketu to bathe them and change their clothes before taking them home.
“They are presently on medication. When we told them they had been away for 24 days, they could not believe it, because it still appeared like a dream to them.
“Their mother is traumatised; but we bless God that they returned home alive. Not many people are so lucky to go through that kind of experience and return home.”
