Omar Bin Omran vanished during the decade-long Algerian civil war of 1998, leading his family to assume that he was killed in the conflict. However, he was found amid haystacks on May 12 (pictured left) - now aged 45 - only about 200 yards away from his family's home in the city of Djelfa after the captor's brother aired grievances on social media, reportedly due to an inheritance dispute. The alleged culprit, a 61-year-old doorman at the municipality in the nearby town of El Guedid, was taken into custody after attempting to flee, the ministry said.

Named as Omar Bin Omran (right, as a teenager), he is said to have disappeared in the city of Djelfa in Algeria 27 years ago. His family assumed he had been killed during the civil war between the North African nation's government and Islamist rebel groups that raged for 10 years in the 1990s and early 2000s. The truth literally hit close to home: the missing man is alleged to have been taken prisoner by a 61-year-old neighbour who is now in police custody after Omar, now 45, was found in his basement earlier this week (left).
