The Disappearance of Usoh Beckham

The dusty roads of Benin City carried whispers of political unrest, secrets, and danger. Mr. Imuntiyan Usoh, a prominent local government chairman of the APC party, was no stranger to the complexities of power.

However, his influence came with a heavy price. Beneath the surface of his public persona lay a shadowy connection to an unknown cult group, a secret that threatened his family’s safety.

It all began on a quiet afternoon on the 12th of September 2023 when the news broke—Imuntiyan had been involved in a violent political clash. The conflict, fueled by rising tensions between rival parties, had spiraled out of control, and Imuntiyan had disappeared without a trace. The city buzzed with speculation, but no one had answers.

Usoh Beckham, Imuntiyan’s teenage son, was in boarding school when the devastating news reached him. His uncle arrived with a grim face and heavy heart to deliver the message.

“Beckham,” he said softly, his voice trembling, “your father is missing. There was a fight… it’s not safe anymore.”

Fear gripped the 19-year-old. His father’s political affiliations had always cast a long shadow, and now that shadow loomed larger than ever. Terrified of what might happen next, Beckham made the decision to flee immediately.

Back in the family’s home, chaos erupted. The opposition party, believing that Beckham might be hiding with his mother, Mrs. Imade Osato Usoh targeted her house. Located at No. 22 Osaro Street off MMM Way in Benin City, the house became a symbol of misplaced vengeance. It was ransacked and destroyed in a brutal act of intimidation.

Mrs. Imade barely escaped the attack, but the incident left her family scattered and broken. Beckham, now doubly terrified, vanished without a trace. His family desperately searched for him, but their efforts were met with silence. The boy with dreams of a brighter future had become a ghost, his whereabouts a painful mystery.

Today, the Usoh family clings to hope. With Beckham’s date of birth—27th August 2004—as their guiding clue, they’ve issued a plea to the public.

“Anyone with information about Usoh Beckham’s whereabouts, please inform the family. His mother and siblings are desperate for answers. The violence and fear have taken too much from us.”

As the city continues to reel from the aftermatllll of political rivalries, the story of Usoh Beckham stands as a tragic reminder of the human cost of power struggles. Somewhere, perhaps far from home, a young man carries the weight of fear and uncertainty, longing for safety and the embrace of his family.
