A 77-year-old man, Mr. Nicholas Demato Nor, has been reported missing in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State.
According to his family, Mr. Nor, who lives with dementia, left his residence at No. 25 Old Otukpo Road, High Level area of Makurdi—near Katsina-Ala Street—between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Monday, January 19, 2026, and has not returned home since.
He was last seen in the same vicinity. Due to his condition, which can cause confusion and disorientation, there is serious concern for his safety and well-being.
Mr. Nor is described as dark-complexioned, of average height, with no visible tribal marks or physical disabilities. He speaks English, Tiv, and Hausa fluently.
At the time he went missing, he was wearing carton-coloured shorts, a light blue checked button-up shirt, and a brown cap.
The family has appealed to the public for urgent assistance in locating him. Anyone with useful information about his whereabouts is kindly requested to contact 08061154606 or send a message via inbox to the BENUE info-pedia platform.
