The family of Owoyomi Oluwasegun Emmanuel, a full-time Master's student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Lagos, has raised an urgent alarm over his disappearance, appealing to the public for any information that could lead to his safe return. Owoyomi, who was diagnosed with depression linked to prolonged emotional and stress-related challenges, has been missing since 5 July 2026.
According to the family, Owoyomi had been exhibiting signs of mental distress over the past few months, prompting them to take him for medical evaluation. He was diagnosed with depression and also experienced hand tremors. He received medical care and was receiving support throughout his recovery. However, on 5 July, he left home to buy yam and eggs but did not return. The family tracked his phone and located him in the Ologode area of Ikorodu later that day and brought him home safely. Tragically, he left home again that same night and has not been seen or heard from since.
The family is deeply worried about his safety and is appealing to anyone who may have seen him or has any information about his whereabouts to come forward. Owoyomi is described as tall and was previously fair in complexion, although his complexion is now noticeably paler. The family has released his photograph and urged anyone with information to contact them through the following numbers: 0806 422 9439 and 0803 525 3525.
Owoyomi, who is a postgraduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Lagos, is reportedly 27 years old and hails from Oyo State. The University of Lagos community and his family have been deeply worried since his disappearance, especially in light of his mental health struggles, which may have contributed to his wandering off.
Owoyomi's case is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by individuals battling mental health conditions and the critical need for community support, understanding, and timely intervention. As the search continues, his family has urged Nigerians to keep them in their prayers and share the information widely. The family has called on anyone who may have seen Owoyomi or has any information about his whereabouts to contact the provided numbers immediately. The University of Lagos community and the family have expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support and are hopeful that Owoyomi will be found safe and brought home.
