Missing Nigerian Student Ozi Akerele Uk Update.

I got this mail last night and didnt sleep the whole night cos i kept thinking what Ozi's mum is going through.She is presently in the UK waiting until her son is found before she returns to Nigeria.

The mail says 


''Hi Stella,

Many Thanks from our family For including our search for Ozi in your blog previously. There isn't any joy as to his whereabouts as yet. I would like for you to once again ‎publish this new update. Bellow is the news update link where you can see the last cctv footages. We the family continue to believe in God for his safe return. 

May I add that, the Nigeria embassy in uk only agreed to send a man to Coventry with us once after we made series of contact‎ with them and they weren't interested. Not until Ozi's mom physically went to the Nigeria house Uk, Did they accord her this 1time privilege. After that one time, they have neither called the Family nor have they shown any Further interest. This is why we Nigerians question what privileges we are entitled to as a citizen of that country (both home and abroad). Nigerian embassy made us feel like were begging for them to log the incident on There records. 

I imagine what will the British government's role Be if ‎a citizen goes missing in Nigeria. There will surely be a media frenzy and daily government explanations from the Nigerian government to the uk. 

Sorry for the long mail. Can give more Details later. In the meantime help continue praying for Ozi's safe return''. 

According to Conventry telegraph

Ozi Akerele, aged 24, of Richmond Street, Stoke, Coventry, is missing. He's a Nigerian student who has only been in the city for a few weeks.

Stretches of canals in Coventry are now being searched by police looking for a missing student who hasn’t been seen in over a month.

A spokesman for Coventry Police said the tactic wasn’t as a result of new information, but forms part of “routine inquiries” because Ozi Akerele was last seen near a canal.

The 24-year-old, who had only been in Coventry for a few days after coming to the city to start a course at Coventry University, was last spotted in Old Church Road,Foleshill, on January 31.

The road crosses the Coventry Canal.

Ozi, originally from the Nigerian capital city Abuja, has been missing since he went on a night out with friends.

He left a nightclub and instead of returning home to Richmond Street in Stoke he took a wrong turn and started walking up Foleshill Road.

Ozi was last seen around the top of Foleshill Road where he flagged down motorists

Efforts are continuing to track down Ozi, with police and the university publicising his disappearance.

Recently Coventry University asked for help finding the person who handed in Ozi’s access card 21 days after he went missing.

It’s understood that the discovery isn’t forming part of the police inquiry.

The university has come under fire from some students for not doing enough to find the Nigerian student – with some saying that emails have only just sent out asking for information.

In response to the claims made on Facebook a spokesman for the university responded by saying: “We care a great deal about the safety of our students, and that you feel you’re being kept informed about the wellbeing of fellow students – but it is important that everything we do is in close cooperation with the authorities to make sure information being released publicly is an accurate reflection of a developing police investigation.

“As we speak we’re doing our utmost to spread the word and raise awareness of Ozi’s disappearance, including posters and flyers across campus, emails to all students and shout-outs at the start of lectures.

“We’ll continue to do this in collaboration with the police and the students’ union for the foreseeable future.”

Anyone with information should call 101.
