Popular online comedian and content creator, Ganiyu Kehinde, popularly called Ijoba Lande, who was declared missing by friends and family days ago, has been found after four days.

In a video posted on social media, which has not been independently verified by Peoples Gazette, the comedian could be seen alighting from a car in the company of a man and two women into an apartment.

The comedian, who looked visibly emotional, broke down into tears as he was about to enter the sitting room of the apartment and had to be pacified by the people accompanying him.

He had gone missing days after he celebrated his birthday.

Peoples Gazette had on Tuesday reported that Mr Kehinde, who is famous for his comedic lawyer character, was missing after his wife took to social media to announce the news and called for help from Nigerians to locate her husband.

According to the wife in a video posted online, Ijoba Lande had left home on Sunday night without his mobile phone and he wasn’t heard from or reachable for two days prompting the woman, and family members to ask for help in locating Mr Kehinde.

“This is to inform the public that IJOBA LANDE left home to an unknown destination on 26th of march around 9:00 pm and up till now we can’t find him,” the caption of the Instagram video read.

However, as of the time of filing this report, no official statement has been released by the comedian himself or the family.
