Valuable efforts are being made by the UTB Bank Plc to get in touch with any of the Creek's family or relative, but to no avail. The only Next of Kin address that was given to UTB Bank Plc by Late Dr Mohamed Galal was at Sierra Loene, West Africa, in the person of Mrs. Mabel Brain.

Sierra Leone and the woman was reportedly killed together with other
