Governor Babatunde Fashola,
yesterday, appealed to Lagosians who have
information regarding the whereabouts of
Nigerian Television Authority, NTA,
presenter, Alhaji Razaq Gawat, to urgently
come forward with such.
Fashola, who made the appeal, in an
interview with newsmen, said such
information will aid the investigation by
police and the state government on the
issue.
The governor noted that the success of any
investigation by the police is based on
information provided by the residents of the
state, adding “anyone who brought any
useful information that could lead to the
finding of the missing person would be
substantially rewarded.”
“I am optimistic that we will find
him. I urge everybody to remain hopeful
that we will find him. I know the police are
working. They have some useful information
that they are sharing with me. We are
pursuing the leads, it may take time. We are
checking every information.”
“Anybody who has any information that
may lead us to him, let us know. My
number is 08034301122”.
Reiterating his call for useful information,
Fashola, who also urged the people to
remain calm, further assured, “I know that
the police are working hard at the leads that
we have picked up. Everybody who has
reason to believe that he (Gawat) could be
here or there must help us. Call 767 or 112
emergency toll free numbers to inform the
security agents.”
The Lagos State Police Command has said it
is investigating the case.
The command’s spokesperson, Ngozi
Braide, a Deputy Superintendent of Police,
said: “The case was that of missing person
and not kidnap.”
Investigation so far, according to police
sources, show there was no sign of struggle
where his vehicle was found at Apongbon
end of Eko Bridge. The car, sources said,
was neatly parked.
