HELP! Richard Okorogheye, 19 y.o Nigerian student with sickle cell MISSING in London

Detectives have released new images of missing student Richard Okorogheye as the teenager's mother pleads for the public's help with the investigation.

The Metropolitan Police renewed its appeal for information as it issued CCTV pictures from the night the 19-year-old was last seen over a week ago. Mr Okorogheye is believed to have left his family home in the Ladbroke Grove area of west London on the evening of March 22 and was reported missing two days later. His mother Evidence Joel previously said the Oxford Brookes University student had spoken of 'struggling to cope' with university pressures and had been shielding during the Covid-19 lockdown. As someone with sickle cell disease, Mr Okorogheye would only leave the house to go to hospital for regular blood transfusions for his condition. The Met said he left his home and headed in the direction of Ladbroke Grove on March 22 at approximately 8.30pm. The last confirmed sighting of Mr Okorogheye was when he was seen boarding the 23 southbound bus in Ladbroke Grove at 8.44pm. CCTV footage showed the student wearing an all-black outfit and carrying across his lower back a black satchel-bag featuring a white Adidas logo. Police said it was unknown at which stop Mr Okorogheye got off the bus, adding he was known to frequent London's Westminster and Hammersmith and Fulham areas. Ms Joel previously told MyLondon her son had 'never done anything like this', adding: 'Something has gone wrong.'
