The Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, FCT chapter, Emmanuel Ogbeche, had earlier raised the alarm over Salem’s sudden and mysterious disappearance in entrance of the police headquarters.
“It’s ridiculous that he went lacking in entrance of the drive headquarters and he has not been discovered or whether or not it was a case of abduction or not. We stay persuaded that this isn’t a case of kidnapping. Safety companies have numerous solutions to offer on this regard.” Ogbeche stated.
Twelve days into Salem’s disappearance, NUJ members led by the chairman stormed the Louis Edet Home in protest.
