The family of a man who has been missing for nearly three weeks have made a plea for anyone with information to come forward.
Officers are continuing to search for Adeo Alston-Ekpei, 25, who has not been seen since Friday 16 May, with multiple lines of enquiry being explored.
Adeo was seen in Fletcher Moss Park in Didsbury at around 3pm, before later being seen walking down Kingsway, away from Manchester, close to the River Mersey, at around 5.20pm that same day. Anyone who believes they may have seen him from around this time is asked to get in touch.
He is described as being a mixed-race male, with long curly black hair, and a long singular dreadlock, with bleached eyebrows. He has a cupid’s bow piercing and a right eyebrow piercing. He also has an ‘AKA’ tattoo on his right wrist and a ‘24’ tattoo in the right side of his chest.
He was last seen wearing long blue denim shorts, an undone green short-sleeved button-up shirt, and white Adidas trainers.
A spokesperson for Adeo’s family said: “‘It’s nearing three weeks since Adeo went missing and we are all deeply worried for his safety.
“Adeo is kind, funny, intelligent, and has a huge heart – but he wasn’t himself when he disappeared. He may have come across as agitated, lost, or confused. In his last call to his mum, he was in a very vulnerable state. If you’ve seen him or know anything, please contact the police.
“Adeo, if you see this – please call us. Your friends are looking for you, we love you and just want you home.
“Your Mum, Dad and Sisters.”
Detective Inspector Kelly, from GMP’s Manchester district, said: “We are dedicated to finding Adeo and getting much-needed answers for his family.
“I would ask any residents around the Kingsway area, and surrounding housing estates off Kingsway into Gately, and who may have dashcam or CCTV footage from around this time, to please check and get in touch if you have any information.
“Likewise, if anyone believes they have seen Adeo, please get in touch with one of our officers. Any information is appreciated and investigated as we continue our work.“
If you have any information regarding Adeo’s whereabouts, please contact South Manchester CID directly on 0161 856 6051 or 0161 856 6063.
