Mrs Oluwatoyin Kayode Oladimeji is a disturbed woman. Her husband has been missing for over four months. Her husband, Mr Kayode Oladimeji is one of the nine DSS operatives that went on an official operation in Arepo Community, Lagos where suspected pipeline vandals allegedly abducted them.

Mrs Oladimeji said she got married in January 2002 to her husband and they are blessed with three children. They lived in Amoyo Community in Ilorin.

Below is excerpt from her conversation with LEADERSHIP Sunday:

How did this happen?

On September 15, 2015 around 5 am, I was coming from work at University of Ilorin. My husband called me that he was going for an operation with some other people. In the night, I tried his phone, but his line was not connecting. Because usually he’d call me and ask about his family. Throughout Wednesday, his phone was off. I called one of his brothers on Wednesday afternoon, to help me check what has happened. The man went to their office and said that they told him that he should call around 9 am on Wednesday that the phone would be on. We called, but the phone was still off. On Thursday, as I was about going to work, I was not okay; I put on my phone and I was reading an online news saying that some DSS officials were ambushed and killed by pipeline vandals. That's where I got the information and since then, we've been on it.

Was there any premonition?

There was nothing to suggest that something bad was about to happen. He's not the type that would forget his family. He always called. And since he didn't call, I only knew something was amiss. It's over four months now.

What are the efforts you have made since?

We went to DSS office in Lagos and Abuja. My family members and his relations. We met with the director and even the DG in Abuja. They told us they are still on it. And that they are on top of the situation. They said they can't declare somebody dead like that. They were nine that went for the operation, but we learnt two escaped back to the office. The seven are still being expected. We have not heard any information from any of the seven. One of the seven is Uzor, who we learnt led the team and the driver of the team. We are in contact with their relations too. What the director told us is that the director-general is aware of the incident. But up till now, we don't have any information to hang on.

We've met with the leadership of the DSS for about four times. In Lagos and Abuja. Each time, they told us they are still working on it and on top of the situation.
