"We have been receiving multiple threats from these criminal elements, insisting we provide our daughter, Mrs. Fayomi-Amos Adefoluke olubunmi, who will severely face the consequences of reporting them to the authorities. Ever since, our daughter and her immediate family have been on the run for their lives. We currently don't know where they are. The family is deeply worried, especially for her son, who is living with sickle cell anemia. We honestly pray they are safe, because we have reported this matter to the police several times, but they are yet to take any action."
