BY ADAMU ALIYU NGULDE, MAIDUGURI

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — A Maiduguri family is in shock after Sheriff Ali, widely known as Ba’ana, vanished in broad daylight — sparking fears for his safety in a city still reeling from years of insecurity.

Relatives say Ali was last spotted at the bustling Dala Bus Stop around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 4. Witnesses recall seeing him leave without disclosing his destination — and he hasn’t been heard from since.

“This is not normal. He never disappears like this,” a worried relative told our correspondent.

The family is now making a desperate appeal for public assistance in locating him.

The family is pleading with the public to assist in tracing him. Anyone with information is urged to call 08030811218 or 08059025556.
