A heart-wrenching story of a mother’s mysterious disappearance from her family’s home in Lagos has recently resurfaced, leaving her son Seyi desperately seeking help from the public to reunite with her.
Seyi, now 29 years old, has been living with the pain of his mother’s absence since childhood and is determined to find her, armed with only a single photograph as his sole clue.
Seyi’s emotional plea for assistance was shared on Twitter by Marleeki, shedding light on the poignant tale of a family torn apart by an inexplicable vanishing act.
In the absence of any concrete leads or information, Seyi’s quest to locate his missing mother has become a relentless pursuit of hope.
The narrative unfolds with Seyi explaining that his mother disappeared when he and his sibling Yemi were still very young.
To make matters worse, their father, Adekunle, fell gravely ill and ultimately passed away in 2019, leaving Seyi to carry the weight of this unanswered mystery alone.
Seyi vividly recalls the few details he has about his mother, having only one photograph of her as his memory’s anchor.
This precious image is the sole connection he has to the woman who brought him into this world. His mother’s name, Tawakalitu, is etched in his birth certificate, but beyond that, Seyi’s knowledge of her is limited.
The family’s history provides a faint glimmer of hope. Seyi reveals that his parents once resided on Shobande Street in Akoka, Yaba, Lagos, during the years spanning 1993 to 1996.
It was during this time that his mother disappeared from their lives, and he has not laid eyes on her since.
Seyi’s determination to locate his mother transcends his personal longing for closure.
He yearns to discover whether she is still alive or, sadly, if she has passed away. The uncertainty surrounding her fate has taken a profound toll on him, both mentally and psychologically.
Over the years, Seyi has tirelessly attempted to gather information about his mother, but his efforts were often thwarted by his father’s deteriorating health.
Now, with his father’s passing, Seyi is resolute in his pursuit of answers, despite the scant clues at his disposal.
