Bosede Onifade, the mother of Pelumi Onifade, renews her request for authorities to release her son’s body for burial, saying she has waited for six years after his disappearance following Nigeria’s 2020 #EndSARS protests. The articles report that Pelumi Onifade, then 20 and working as an intern with Gboah TV, was last seen on 24 October 2020 while preparing to cover the anti-police brutality demonstrations. One outlet says a coroner’s inquest has confirmed his identity using DNA evidence, but that his body has still not been released to the family. The mother also says no one has been held responsible for his death. She frames her renewed appeal as part of a continuing search for justice and closure. The reports underscore the ongoing gap between the confirmation of identity through forensic steps and the absence of accountability or final resolution for the family. Both accounts describe the same core timeline—his last day in October 2020, the passage of six years without burial, and the family’s continued efforts to obtain the body and answers.
