Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu has pushed back against a viral claim linking a body found floating in a Lagos river to missing fashion entrepreneur Evelyn Onyema, the CEO of 44 Clothing, and confirmed she is alive and back home.
Earlier on October 21, Gwamnishu had raised public alarm about Evelyn's disappearance, noting she had been missing for two days and was last seen in the company of her boyfriend, Dertrick, around the Bonny camp area in Lagos.

Shortly after Gwamnishu's post gained traction online, Stanley Ontop circulated footage showing a female body floating in a Lagos waterway, with speculation mounting that the deceased could be Evelyn.
Gwamnishu moved quickly to counter that assumption, announcing on his Instagram page that he had personally funded divers and boat operators to retrieve the unidentified body from the water.
"This video trending is not 44 Clothing. I have paid divers and boat guys to retrieve this body found. The Police are fully involved now," he wrote.
44 Clothing CEO found alive
In a subsequent video posted to his Instagram page, Harrison Gwamnishu brought far better news.
He announced that Evelyn is alive, safe, and has returned home, with confirmation coming directly from her brother and a friend who joined him on a video call.

In his words:
"UPDATE: 44 CLOTHING IS ALIVE, HOME AND SAFE NOW! 🙏❤️
44 Clothing is alive and has safely returned home. Her brother and a friend just had a video call with me to confirm the news. She will explain to the police what transpired.
However, we are yet to establish the identity of the body found that is now trending.
If you have a female relative who is missing, please urgently visit Bonny Police Station to report the case and assist with the identification process.
Thank God 44 Clothing is safe. 🙏❤️
ON GROUND IN LAGOS."
While Evelyn's safe return brings relief, the identity of the woman whose body was retrieved from the river remains unknown.
Gwamnishu is urging anyone with a missing female relative to visit Bonny Police Station to assist with the identification process, as authorities continue their investigation.
