In the appeal, the missing 25-year-old’s family says: “Since Abdul went missing, our family have been extremely upset and worried. This is such a distressing time and we would like to hear from anyone who may be able to help us find Abdul.
“Every day is a struggle and the void in our lives is indescribable. Abdul may need our help, and not knowing where he is leaves us feeling helpless.
“We would like to ask the public for any information, whether this be little or believed to be insignificant, please come forward and make this known.
“Abdul is such a generous and honest person, we want him to be home safe. Our family is not complete while Abdul is missing.

Abdul was last seen crossing Eldon Road and heading towards Eastwood Park at 6.33pm on Sunday 12 February. It’s possible the 25-year-old then joined the canal tow path and headed out of the park towards the town centre and the train station.
Police are also asking for anyone who was in the area on that evening to check their dash cam, door bell cameras and CCTV footage to try and help piece together Abdul’s next movements.
