A bricklayer, Enoch Ganogbe, has developed hypertension after his daughter, Abigail Ganogbe, and granddaughter, Yenukunme Ajovi, went missing.
He said Abigail and Ajovi have been missing since January 2015.
It was gathered that it could not be ascertained whether they were abducted or disappeared in the Badagry Local Government Area of Lagos State.
Speaking with Sunday PUNCH, Enoch lamented that their disappearance had taken a toll on him, causing him a lot of stress. He added that the situation made him developed hypertension.
“Sometimes, I worry about how much this is affecting my health. I just pray it doesn’t end up taking my life,” he said.
The worried father said her daughter supported him and had always been there for him.
“She was helping out in so many ways. She’s a really good person and does a lot for me. I haven’t felt any joy or peace since she went missing. I’ve searched everywhere and asked everyone I could, but nothing has led me to her. At this point, I can only leave it in God’s hands, hoping that someday, I’ll find her,” he lamented.
Enoch stressed that before their disappearance, his daughter had a disagreement with her husband, “but we were able to help resolve that”.
He said, “My daughter’s husband reported her disappearance to the police, but there has been no progress. Since then, my life hasn’t been the same.”
Abigail’s husband, Noah Ajovi, described his wife and daughter’s disappearance as a big loss and disaster.
He stated that he had been with the victim since 2007 before they got married in 2011.
“I spent 10 years of my life with her, and she disappeared with the only daughter she has with me. I did a registry with her. I didn’t just meet her on the street and impregnate her. All I want now is my daughter. If I see my daughter, I’ll be happy that what I spent 10 years of my life on still exists,” Ajovi explained
The husband further explained that, “She left home in January 2015, and I was travelling at that time. Whenever we have issues, she always leaves the house.
“We haven’t seen her since she left the last time. I reported the issue at the police station. We’re not sure if they were kidnapped.”
Meanwhile, efforts to reach the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, proved abortive.
