UK police continue manhunt for prison escapee Temitope Segun
The UK Metropolitan Police officers have released an image of a UK-based Nigerian man they are searching for after he absconded from a prison transport van in Woolwich.
Temitope Segun, aged 25, was last seen in the vicinity of Woolwich High Street at around 6:40 p.m. on Monday.
He is believed to have links to Plumstead, Abbey Wood and Woolwich.
Detective Sergeant Claudine Manning, who is leading the search, said, “My team of dedicated officers are working around the clock to trace and apprehend Temitope Segun. It is imperative that the public contact police via 999 if they see him, or know where he may be.
“He was last seen wearing a black jacket, black trousers and black trainers and has links across south London.”
Police advised the public not to approach Mr Segun and instead to dial 999, quoting 2270/10JUN.
“Anonymous reports can be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with the same reference,” a police statement said on Wednesday.
