Emotions ran high on a recent episode of Brekete Family as a distressed couple publicly cried out over the disappearance of their son at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).
According to the parents, their son resumed at the academy as a cadet but allegedly went missing shortly after resumption. They claimed that for more than eight months, they have been left in the dark about his whereabouts despite making repeated efforts to get answers from the institution.
The grieving mother, fighting back tears during the live broadcast, said their only request is to know the truth. “We just want to know if our son is alive or dead. If he is no more, let them tell us what happened and show us where he was buried so we can have closure,” she pleaded.
The father explained that they had formally approached the academy several times but were not given what they described as satisfactory explanations. They also stated that the matter was reported to relevant government authorities, yet no clear resolution has been provided.
The case has sparked fresh concerns about transparency, accountability, and institutional responsibility, especially in matters involving missing persons within security establishments. Many listeners and viewers expressed sympathy for the family, calling for an independent investigation and improved communication from the authorities.
As public pressure mounts, the parents say they will not relent until they receive definitive information about their son’s fate. The emotional appeal has intensified calls for clarity and closure in a situation that has left a family in prolonged anguish.
