The family of a missing 26-year-old Dubai-based Nigerian woman allegedly robbed and m8rdered in Lagos has said they are unable to establish whether she is alive or d3ad.
Nigeria Police Force had earlier declared Chukwunyere Esther Chinaza missing.
The police said she was last seen on June 22, 2026, after returning from Dubai with her male friend.
The bulletin described Chinaza as an Igbo woman, aged 26, fair-skinned and of tall/average height.
It stated that her last known address was Horizon Estate, Ikate, Lagos State.
The beauty entrepreneur goes by the Instagram handle @pretty_nazee. Her last post was dated June 21, a day before she went missing.
The Nigeria Police Force on Wednesday, August 13, 2026 issued a Special Police Gazette Bulletin declaring two men, Ajibola Obateru and Folawiyo Balogun Alagbado, wanted in connection with the alleged conspiracy and m8rder case.
In the bulletin declaring Obateru wanted, the police alleged that he conspired with others to attack Chinaza, made away with her body and stole her personal belongings.
The police said the alleged crime occurred at the Shoreline axis of Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos.
Obateru was described as a 33-year-old Yoruba man, about 5.9 feet tall, thin, fair-skinned and with an oval face. His last known address was listed as Ajoda New Town, Ibadan, Oyo State.
In a separate bulletin, the police declared Alagbado wanted over the same case.
The police alleged that Alagbado conspired with others to attack Chinaza, allegedly k!lled her and moved her body to an unknown location. The police also alleged that her belongings were taken by the suspect.
The circumstances surrounding Chinaza’s disappearance and the allegations against the suspects remain under police investigation.
The police have urged members of the public who may have information about the whereabouts of the missing woman or the wanted suspects to contact the SCID, Panti, or the nearest police station.
Speaking with SaharaReporters, one of Chinaza’s brothers said the family became increasingly concerned after she disappeared and subsequent investigations allegedly linked some individuals to the incident.
“My sister’s name is Chukwunyere Esther Chinaza from Imo State. The guy lured my sister from Dubai to Lagos here on June 18. From June 21, she got missing up to now. We have not seen her or her body,” he said.
The brother said the family later discovered that one of the men allegedly connected to the incident had reported himself at the Panti police station.
He alleged that the man initially gave the police and family members an account of being attacked by his friends, but said the family had become dissatisfied with the explanations surrounding Chinaza’s disappearance.
According to him, the family is also concerned about the pace of the investigation and wants the police to intensify efforts to locate Chinaza and establish what happened to her.
“We are not relying on those police people on their own investigation. It’s getting to too much. Nothing has been done. No arrest or nothing about those two guys,” he said.
He added that the family’s major concern remained locating Chinaza.
“The only problem here is that I’m not seeing my sister. I’m not seeing her corpse or whether d3ad or alive. That is the problem,” he said.
