Jimi Folarin, a 43-year-old man working as a realtor, has been reported missing following a client’s request for him to evaluate properties in the Imota area of Ikorodu, Lagos State, raising alarms among his associates and prompting inquiries into his sudden absence.
According to his sister, Iremide Omowunmi, Jimi Folarin left home at precisely 4 PM on Wednesday for an appointment to inspect properties, but he has since become unreachable, with no answers to his phone calls, intensifying worries about his well-being.
She noted that, “At about 4 PM, my brother called me to say that the clients he was waiting for had contacted him to come and inspect the properties. This was exactly at 4 PM.
“My brother is a real estate agent who sells land and assists people in buying land. Around 5 PM, I tried calling him to see if he had arrived, but although the phone rang, he did not pick up. I thought maybe he was busy with the clients, so I stopped calling. It wasn’t until 10 PM that I tried reaching him again, but he still didn’t respond. I then texted him on WhatsApp, but he didn’t reply either, which is unlike him.
“While I was calling him, my brother’s friend was also trying to reach him. After a while, a strange number called my brother’s friend, asking who he wanted to speak to. When my brother’s friend questioned the caller, they immediately hung up.
