Salem, who covers the House of Representatives, was last seen Wednesday evening in Abuja.
He was then sighted around the Total Filling Station opposite the Police headquarters in Area 11, Garki.
A source close to the family spoke to DAILY POST Sunday evening.
“Tordue is 43 years old and married with a daughter. He drives a red Toyota Venza but was not driving the day he went missing.
“The car was with his friend, a mechanic, who was to help fix something in the car. He went to work with Uber that Wednesday.
“He closed from work with a colleague and they went to a garden in Garki; the colleague left almost immediately. Some people said Tordue left between 8 and 8:30pm”, he disclosed.
