Woman says DSS, police and military let her down after husband's disappearance

A Nigerian woman, Nemi, has spoken publicly about her ordeal 17 months after her husband, Angel Odumodu, went missing during a journey. She said the last time they spoke, Odumodu told her he was passing a military checkpoint in Nnewi, Anambra State, as he traveled home to Port Harcourt. Soon after, his phone became unreachable, and she never heard from him again. Last year, she turned to X to ask for assistance in locating her husband. In an update shared today, she described what she has endured since then. She said it had been exactly one year and five months since their final conversation. Nemi said God had sustained her through a trauma severe enough to break anyone, and she asked how a person could vanish without any trace. She also addressed whoever may have taken him, saying that only God knows what was done and that judgment would soon follow. According to Nemi, all security agencies failed her, including the Department of State Services, the police, and the military. She said they traced his number, established the exact time his phone stopped working and the exact location, but took no further action. Nemi added that people she described as underground contacts were paid to search communities in the area and criminal camps for him, but they never got back to her. She said they collected money and kept giving false information in order to extract more. She said the experience has been very hard.
