Expdonaloaded News; Edo monarch cries out over disappearance of brother

The mysterious disappearance of younger brother to the traditional ruler of Avhianwun, the Ogie Avianwun of Avhianwun clan in Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State, His Royal Highness, Jackson Etokhana, has thrown the royal family into confusion.The missing man, Monday Etokhana, a 52-year old commercial driver, was last heard from on June 30th after he was hired to take a passenger from Lagos to Owerri, the Imo State capital.He was said to have called one of his co-drivers after dropping the passenger at about 10:30pm that he was heading to Onitsha to spend the night and return to Lagos the next day.

But three weeks after, Monday was yet to be seen, prompting members of his family led by the traditional ruler to cry out while addressing journalists in Benin City that several attempts to locate the whereabouts of Monday have been futile.
He said a male voice picked the call made to Monday’s phone three days after he went to Owerri and greeted him but refused to speak further, adding that another female picked the call another day but declined to make any demand.
His Royal Highness, Etokhana, said he told the persons picking the calls to take the Toyota Sienna bus and release Monday but they refused to make any comments on the whereabouts of Monday.
“The owner of the vehicle said I should tell them to take the vehicle and release the driver. I told them and they refused to say anything. On Friday, a man picked the phone and said Your Highness and later kept quiet. The last time I called was on Sallah day.
“We are not sure whether it was kidnapping. If it was kidnapping, they would have ask for ransom. I asked them what they want but they always switched off the phone. We want the world to know about what is going on in the society and for them to be careful and to also know about our pains in looking for my brother”, the traditinal ruler said.
The owner of the bus, Aleogho Moses, explained that Monday started working for him since February and that they have not had any quarrels, adding that they have been to several police stations in Delta, Anambra and Imo states and were told no accident was recorded within that period.
