In an email to Global News, Obiagboso’s mother Georgina Mensa Boboe said he had been split up from his friends during the show.

“When they got to the concert, they were all in front of the stage with their hands interlocked so they wouldn’t lose each other,” Boboe said.

Montreal police opened a missing persons report Sunday.
