Missing: Eighty-three-year-old caretaker Nadir Hussain

The man, identified as Nadir Hussain, commonly referred to as “Shaukat” was last seen by his relatives and members of the Masjid on Wednesday last.
Hussain’s niece, Sadiyya Hassan, told GuyanaTimes that a missing person’s report was officially made at the Sparendaam Police Station, ECD.
She stated that her uncle has been the caretaker of the Masjid for some time now and that he would usually be in touch with either his daughter or other relatives every week.
However, persons who attend that Masjid told his family that the man had not been seen since Wednesday, which has raised some concerns.
She noted that he was not suffering from any illnesses.
Several checks were repeatedly made at the homes of various relatives but no one had seen or heard from Hussain for days.
Hassan is appealing to members of the public to assist her family in locating the elderly gentleman. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Hussain they are being asked to contact his relatives on 647-4476, 642-4817 or contact the nearest police station.
