Panic has gripped the family of Big Brother Naija alumni, the Mbadiwe twins, after they declared their younger brother, Odera Mbadiwe, missing in Lagos. The heartbreaking announcement was made via their joint Instagram account late Tuesday, sparking widespread concern among fans and colleagues.
According to the twins, Odera, aged 33, was last seen around 10 a.m. on Monday, September 1, 2025, at No. 29 Idowu Martins, Victoria Island. Standing at 6’2” with a muscular build, brown eyes, and a clean fade haircut, Odera was reportedly dressed in grey sweats when he disappeared. He was driving his black Nissan 350Z convertible with a blue soft top, registered with plate number GM 70 AMB.
The twins—Ocee and Ozee—issued an urgent appeal for help. “Missing person alert. Please your help is required urgently to find our brother,” they wrote. They urged anyone with information to contact them directly via the numbers provided or report to the nearest police station. “We need your help to bring him home,” the statement emphasized.
The development has triggered an outpour of support across social media, with fans, entertainment colleagues, and influencers amplifying the search campaign. Many have taken to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) to share Odera’s pictures, urging authorities to act swiftly.
Security operatives in Lagos are said to have been alerted, though no official statement from the police has been released as of press time. Family sources fear that the disappearance may not be unconnected with the rising spate of carjackings and abductions in highbrow areas of the city.
Odera, who is known within Lagos’ nightlife circuit as a promoter and entrepreneur, has often been seen alongside his famous twin siblings at events. His sudden disappearance has thrown the family into turmoil, with close associates describing him as “responsible, cheerful, and deeply loved.”
The Mbadiwe twins, who rose to fame during Big Brother Naija Season 9, have since built thriving careers as lifestyle influencers and entertainment promoters. Their emotional plea underscores the growing insecurity in Lagos, where high-profile disappearances have become an alarming trend.
