Mr Dipo Fasina, a former President of the Academic Staff Union of Universities Dipo, who was earlier declared missing has been found in Turkey.
He was said to be travelling to Algeria at the invitation of the Algerian government when he reportedly missed his connecting flight from Istanbul, Turkey. His whereabouts have remained unknown since 1st of July 2023.
Meanwhile, in a tweet by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission on Sunday, Fasina was found at the airport and would be on his way to Nigeria on Monday.
NIDCOM however, hailed Nigeria’s High Commission in Turkey for the collaborative efforts to locate Fasina.
NIDCOM said, “The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, in collaboration with the Nigerian High Commission in Turkey, has successfully located Prof Fasina, who went missing for a few days at Istanbul Airport while connecting on a flight back home.
“Mr Fasina, 76, was travelling to Algeria when he was said to have missed his connecting flight from Istanbul, Turkey.”
“A big thanks to the Nigerian Ambassador to Turkey who immediately sent officials to the Airport to physically locate him in the very busy and huge Istanbul Airport.”
