Granny joins search for missing Nigels

Jagoosingh yesterday made a tearful plea — "Whoever have meh grandson, let him go please."

And the Claxton Bay relatives of Nigel Roderique, whom Allen had left to visit last Wednesday, also conducted frantic searches yesterday for Roderique, who is also missing.

Police said yesterday that the disappearance of both Nigels continues to baffle them.

Allen, a mechanic of Simpson Brown Terrace, left home to visit Roderique, also known as "Cat." Police found the car, a black Nissan B-12 — abandoned at the Forres Park dump.

On Monday, Roderique’s wife, Dennis Phillip, reported her husband missing, saying that he left home with $13,000 last Thursday night to meet Allen. Roderique lived at Diamond Village, Claxton Bay.

It was a tearful Jagoosingh who yesterday told Newsday, "I’m helping all the way. I have my bag packed with my coffee and biscuits and I am ready to move. I don’t know where we are going, but I am going." Allen is one of her 22 grandchildren, the woman told Newsday. She said she had visited canefields in Central Trinidad in the search for her grandson.

Fighting back tears, the elderly Jagoosingh said Allen’s twin sister, Natalie, had been crying constantly, was unable to sleep properly at nights and has eaten little food since his disappearance.

Allen’s car, inside of which had muddy footprints, has since been impounded at the St Margaret’s Police Station.

Yesterday, Allen’s sister, Tammy Hosein, said that the family has received outpouring support from the Catholic Church. She said the family has also been holding prayer services for Allen’s safe return.

Hosein appealed for anyone with information on Allen’s whereabouts to contact the police. A sobbing Jagoosingh told Newsday that she had prayed for other kidnap victims. She pleaded for their prayers for her grandson.
