Speaking to a team of reporters, Veronica Wesseh, one of his older sisters said, when her brother arrived in Barclayville, the Capital of Grand Kru County, he informed her via mobile phone.
Commenting further, she said, after he passed by Barclayville, a heavy downpour of rain made him stop at a roadside tent to protect the goods, including baking flour and sugar from the rain.
The distance from the tent to the nearby town, Geeken is about an hour's walk, she said. But since the last call, Veronica said the family has not gotten in contact with her brother and he is nowhere to be seen.
Something she said created fear among the family and some residents, including his colleagues at Tubman University.
