A graduate of computer science, Valentine
Jegede, has gone missing on the way to his
hometown in Kanji, Niger State, after collecting
his Bachelor of Science degree certificate.
It was learnt that the 27-year-old man had left
Kanji on April 28 to collect his result at the
North American University, Cotonou, Benin
Republic in preparation for the National Youth
Service Corps exercise.
PUNCH Metro learnt that he was billed to go to
the orientation camp of the corps on Tuesday in
Cross River State, where he was posted.
Our correspondent gathered that on his way back
from the school, he stopped by in Lagos and
pa$$ed the night at his friend’s house in Ijede,
Ikorodu. He reportedly left for Kanji around
9am on Monday.
The father, Oluwaseun, said his son called him
when he was at a motor park, informing him
that he was in a bus en route to Kanji. He added
that he had been basking in excitement and
waiting for his son’s arrival to celebrate the
result.
He said, “He told me on the phone that he was
at a motor park and that the bus would soon
take off.
“One hour later, I tried to get across to him,
but his line indicated that it was not
reachable. I became confused when it was evening
and I did not hear from him.
I called his friend’s mother, but she was
confused too. We have been in darkness since
then. We have no idea of where he could have
gone to. I just pray he is safe wherever he may
be. I jubilated when he informed me that he had
collected his result and I promised him a
special celebration. He was preparing for his
nysc . The family is in deep sorrow now. Her
mother has been crying.”
Valentine’s mother, Ronke Jegede, who also spoke
with PUNCH Metro, appealed to the public to
avail the family of any information that could
lead to her son’s whereabouts. She described him
as God-fearing and obedient.
“He is my first son and they are only two.
Please pray along with us for Valentine to come
back home safe. I believe it is not big for God
to do. He is gentle and God-fearing
