Mr.
Lanre Fashesin has not been heard from in the last 3 months after he was kidnapped at a site in Edo State. The family had up until now made frantic efforts to secure his
release to no avail. The Police also claim to have hit a dead end and
seem to have become clueless as to how else to find the kidnapped
engineer. Mr. Fashesin was working at the site where he was kidnapped as
a contractor for Dextron Engineering Limited based in Lagos.
The family today put out a release appealing to members of the public
to kindly join in the search for Lanre who recently just got married. Please call 08069439240 if you have any information & spread the word. Please continue...
Engr. Lanre Fashesin, referred to by the kidnappers as
‘Larry’ (see picture) was kidnapped around a Niger Delta PHCN project
site in Iguiye village(between Okada & Benin City) 4 months ago. We
have not heard anything from him or the kidnappers for about 3 months
now.
Lanre is 6 foot 3 inches tall, and speaks Yoruba and English fluently. Please call 08069439240 if you have any information & spread the word.
I pray that he is found safe and alive.
ReplyDeleteLinda, biko I don't understand this your statement: "Engr. Lanre Fashesin, referred to by the kidnappers as ‘Larry’"
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean there's been contact with the kidnappers?
May Almighty God protect him and lead him home safely
Haaaa! i hope he is still alive. 3 months is such a long time.

DeleteAre you sure he is still alive? I do not intend to sound negative but am wondering why the kidnaappers have gone quiet all of a sudden and all communications ceased. he might have been wasted.
ReplyDeleteI don't wanna sound pessimistic but logically is there still hope for any good news after three months? Well, I wish Lanre all of good luck available if he is still alive.
ReplyDeletePls I hope the story won't end like cynthia's. I prayed so much that she wud be found alive. I pray this young man will be returned to his new wife in one piece.

May d kidnappers never have rest until he's found.
ReplyDeleteNot to be rude but This is a blog not a prayer section
DeleteNot to be rude but This is a blog not a prayer section
DeleteAmen! They will never know peace until he returns to his family. In Jesus Name.
DeleteA man was was kidnapped in imo state and kept for 10months b4 release. His family sold all they had. Yet another was kidnapped in rivers state. Ransome was paid within 4days but the kidnappers dumped his dead and decaying body for his family at the roadside after getting d dough. It turned out he was killed the day of the kidnap. Sad
ReplyDelete#police have no clue as to who kidnapped him#. Before nko? Criminals have successful carrers in 9ja. U can be a serial killa, rapist, scammer, kidnapper etc oh boy, no shaking! U won't believe the sexual assault meted out to kidnapped females of all ages. Some r ritualistically gang raped day anD nite till moni drop.who go catch dem? D. N. A evidence is still not used here not to talk of finger prints or even pictures.#spits# now they have picked up the 82yr old mother of okonjo iweala. Don't be surprised if they beat the bejezus out of that granny. Psychos............ng owerri
ReplyDeleteI pray he has not been beaten to death. I was kidnapped last year and held captive for 2wks till my family rounded up some moni. Those assholes took pleasure in beating me up and torturing me with lighters. I took it all like a man till they brought in 2 women they also kidnapped and savagely raped them in my presence. Dats when I cried like a baby. God have mercy. People its not just about cash, these guys are sociopaths
ReplyDeleteJesus christ of nazareth! Hehe! God pls ooo.. Am so sorry dude
DeleteSo sorry... :-(
DeleteI heard d cops in charge of d case removed out of d ransom, d kidnappers called Lanre's family and raked 4 dem 2months ago dat d ransom wasn't complete and neva heard from dem again. Intially d whole family was coding the case from d public, wonda why dey waited dis long b4 coming out of dr closet? If nt dat I know lanre one on one wld av tot he was adopted wit d way d family is handling d case. If anything happens 2 him, wic I reject IJN, d wife and his family is to be blamed, I just pray dey find him alive cus 4months is no joke!!!
ReplyDeletebaba....i cant wait for you come back and have a drink with me...like old times
ReplyDelete@December 9, 2012 8:45 PM - don't be so quick to say what you don't know.
ReplyDelete@ Anoymous December 9, 2012 8:26 PM oh my goodness. I am truly sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you went for adequate counseling and spiritual cleansing. What is going on in that Naija why have people become so heartless all for the love of money. The poor girls they raped will not be able to ever tell anyone what they went thru. This kidnapping business is going out of control. I really do pray this guy is safe.
ReplyDeleteNot to be rude Nigerian kidnappers don't have skills
ReplyDelete@memyselfandi so the police that can't catch them have skills?
DeleteAnyone who has ever met "Lalafash" knows he had no bad bone in his body. I just shake uncontrollably any time I think about this. To the retards posting comments here, do you realise his new bride and his family will be reading your posts to see if anyone has a lead? Yet you post idiotic comments about him not being alive or that the family is to blame. Seriously! A situation like this will surely locate you sometime down the road wherever you are.
ReplyDeleteMIcrofly77
I tire 4 dem o,some people are just SENSELESS,naturally bitter nd forever pessimistic...y wud dey blame his family tho?its bcos its nt dem it happnd to nau,dats y dey can come here and type stupid comments,idiots! Cn yu imagine...pple sha
DeleteI mean this be my dude. Grew up in Ibadan, went to Ife together and took on real life around the same timeframe. Do you know what it takes to go through OAU and graduate with an Engineering degree? This dude is among the brightest Nigeria has to offer the world and we permit such talents to be at the mercy of Niger Delta miscreants? Lanre, this will surely not be your closing chapter. Destiny awaits you… Damn! this country be insane… Microfly77. #Bring Lalafash back home..
ReplyDeletethis is scary!Agama was my school in FGC OGBOMOSO!such a jolly good fellow!i pray he is found but the family waited for too long to call for help!

ReplyDeleteAnon 8.45pm "d wife and his family is to be blamed"
ReplyDeleteWhy would you say something so wicked? Do you think you love Lanre more than his wife and family do ?
In the same breath that you are explaining that the police stole some of the ransom money.. you condemning the family?
Please offer them your support...I can't imagine how is wife is feeling just 6 months after marriage having her husband kidnapped.
Senseless comments like yours only add to the hurt . Even if the family made mistakes do you not think they are kicking themselves enough already?
A friend of mine who works with mtn was kidnapped somewhere in the east at his hotel. His company refused to pay ransom despite the fact that he went there on official assignment. Eventually,he was released after his family paid ten million in cash to them..three months later.I pray this guy is that lucky too
ReplyDeletePraying for you! This country sef! The police were aware about this from when it happened but couldn't do anything. I heard the IGP is even aware and some people were arrested but released. Useless police the governor of edo state should be ashamed and the IGP too. Its just too sad.
ReplyDeleteEdo is a greedy pit hole. They started this kidnapping madness in that nonsense naija and are still the kings of it. Bloody greedy bastards. May God not put his wrath on all people from Delta and Edo because of the greedy ones amongst you. Why?
ReplyDeleteI want to cry. This is just too sad. OnlY God knows if this young man is being treated well. Why do they love money like that in Nigeria and they have to put people through hell to attain this ill gotten, generation cursing wealth? And the annoying part is this money is not for anything good but to show off and do big man. The tears of many people suffering will run that Nigeria to the ground
ReplyDeleteI pray that he is found safe and alive.
ReplyDeleteHaaaaaaa, Jesus!!!!! It's so shocking to read this. We attended the same baptist church in Ibadan and also schooled at OAU together. His sister was even my room mate in school. I silently say a prayer that he will be released and his kidnappers shall know no peace until they release him. This is soooooo sad. Only God knows how his new bride will be coping at the moment. God please take control. Amen.
ReplyDeleteMy heart bleeds each time I hear of such wickedness. @ Anoymous December 9, 2012 8:26 PM, I'm terribly sorry...you need to talk bout ur experience more n go for councelling. Let's join hands n pray for our beloved country. Iyt is well... Jide
ReplyDeleteDunno U but I pray u return to ur Family in one peace, #sadface#
ReplyDeleteDunno U but I pray u return to ur Family in one peace, #sadface#
ReplyDelete@ memyselfandIDecember 10, 2012 2:30 AM..... U're crazy for saying this is a blog not a prayer section. It shows how heartless you are. Oloriburuku omo ale jatijati
ReplyDeleteI pray he is found ooo.
ReplyDeleteIwo olorun jo shi oju anu e kan wa especially to Lanre and his family. This breaks my heart into a million pieces. I can't imagine going thru this ordeal. I cant even come to naija again becos of horror stories like this and I miss the place like crazy
ReplyDeleteLanre is such an amazing guy, I've known him for a long time in Ibadan and we went to OAU together! This is so sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly beginning to give up on Nigeria, the stories are getting scarier day by day. I can't fathom how a country so religious and prayerful continues to deteriorate . So glad I cancelled my trip to naija in dec, not showing up there for a while.
My prayer is that God brings Lanre home safe and I pray for God's strength for his wife and family this difficult period.
For the heart of the king belongs to God! By HIS grace, he will be found safe!
ReplyDeleteFor those writing trash! I hope u knw hw it feels to lose a loved one in any way!
Lanre(Agama) as my FEGO Classmate, u put smiles on our faces. May ur family see ur safe return with smiles on ur face. We are in prayers for u Bro.
ReplyDeleteStories like dis r soo heartbreaking.pple suld realiz blogging isn't just abt gossip nd junk!4 d ode dat said dis isn't a prayer session,d tongue is powrful.b careful so dat wen u nid d prayers of odas at nypoint in ur life,u wl find it.
ReplyDeleteto all those who post evil and pessimistic comments i'll advise u to keep it to urself. lanre/ lala/ agama was a good person and had a positive impacts on all who those who crossed paths with him. he was a brother i never had, a school father in oau, as mentor, a friend and a brother. i believe that this story would help positively and we would all rejoice at the end. looking fiorward to lala's safe return.
ReplyDeleteI knew him wen I was in prt1 @ OAU,he graduated 3yrs ago.Lala I pray ur alive n sound.this news is shocking.Pls we still need u in our lives.
ReplyDeleteTolu Jimber - the good Lord knows your address and will surely reward you accordingly. You heard the cops did this and dat - continue to say and type BS - funny how you dont even know lala and his wife personally yet you are busy saying a whole lot OF BS. you and your foolish friends! go and face kunle and your own marriage and mind your bloody business! A word is enough for the wise.
ReplyDeleteHas he been found cos hs wife has been busy posting her works on fb...just asking nio.
ReplyDelete@anonymous so the wife shouldn't post anything till he's found? she should go and hide in a cave? human beings? smh
ReplyDeleteLinda pls stop appproving silly comments. half of these people really dont care - they are just interested in gossiping.
ReplyDelete@ nosey anonymous - why cant you ask the wife on fb?
ReplyDeleteMy mentor from Ife. He will be found in Jesus name. This one will be a testimony for us all , devil is a liar
ReplyDeleteso the wife shouldn't post her work on fb cos u have intentions of feeding her till he gets back abi mumu??
ReplyDeleteShe wil realize d gravity of her postings wen d inlaw descends on her as badluck...dunno y u pple hate d truth!!!
ReplyDeletehow very stupid of you. Chineke! are you are inlaw? why dont you just keep quiet and mind your business.
ReplyDeleteGosh go and rest! Gravity of her postings? Who r u again? Her inlaws are not brain dead and empty headed like u. Mumu
ReplyDeleteA LOT OF PEOPLE ARE THE MAIN REASON OF THEIR MISFORTUNE. READING SUCH NEWS AND YOU HAVE HEARTLESS PEOPLE POSTING UNWARRENTED COMMENTS.
ReplyDeleteFOR THOSE WHO KNOW THE FAMILY AND ARE QUICK TO BE MENTIONING NAMES AND WHEN WHO GOT MARRIED - ARE YOU DAFT? TEXT OR CONTACT THE FAMILY DIRECTLY TO OFFER SUPPORT OR PRAYERS NOT TAKE TO A BLOG AND START BROADCASTING.
PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TOMORROW HOLDS AND IN THE END WE ALL AHVE TO ANSWER TO GOD.
HOW WILL ALL THE FIGHTING, CURSING, BLAMING OR STUPID COMMENTS/BROADCAST HELP? IF YOU CANNOT SAY SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE OR POSITIVE THEN DO NOT COMMENT AS IT'S NOT THE TIME; NEITHER IS THIS THE PLACE.
WATCH WHAT YOU DO, SAY AND WISH FOR OTHERS BECAUSE YOU MAY COME HERE ANONYMOUS THINKING ITS SAFE BUT GOD KNOWS YOU AND WILL FIX YOUR BUSINESS.
WE EITHER ALL PRAY FOR HIS SAFE RETURN AND WISH WELL OR JOG THE FCUK ON ITS SIMPLE.
ON THAT NOT, I'LL ADVISE YOU ALL TO GET RIGHT OR GET LEFT....
I continue to remember you in my thoughts and prayers and ask that the God who brought back one of the Chibok girls will deliver you as well as comfort and uphold your family! SMO [FEGCO]
ReplyDeleteMet him once....May he be reunited with his family one day.
ReplyDeleteWas he ever found? His wife just put to bed and there is no sign of who or where the father is.
