A tourist from London who went
to a reggae club in the West Pullman neighbourhood in Chicago ran off after
stepping outside around 4 a.m. Sunday and hasn’t been seen by his family since,
police said.
Police and relatives of
Ademola
“Addy” Owolana, 26, are now searching for him and growing increasingly
concerned for his safety because he’s not familiar with the area.
Owolana was last seen at 4 a.m.
outside of the Low Key club, 11627 S. Michigan Ave., according to a missing
person flier.
Owolana had been visiting family
in Plainfield when he said he “wanted to go out and have a good time,” said
Natalie, a family friend. He went to the reggae lounge in Chicago with friends
and a cousin.
Owolana went outside of the club
with one of the men early Sunday. They were sitting on a car, and at one point
he asked for the keys to the car, Natalie said.
The other man explained he did
not have keys to the car and Owolana “started running down the block,” Natalie
said.
Relatives Sheriff Akinoso told
ABC7 that Owolana had been drinking, and him running off “was more like a joke.
Now it’s getting more serious,” Akinoso said.
The man who was outside with
Owolana ran back into the club to get the rest of the group, but Owolana was
gone when they went outside, Natalie said.
They searched the area but could
not find Owolana, who does not have a cellphone.
“The area, it’s not safe,” said
Natalie. “We don’t know why he started just randomly running.”
Owolana is a black British man
who is 5-foot-6, weighs 130 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair, according
to police. The words “Family First” are tattooed on his left arm, “Loyalty” is
tattooed on his shoulder and a musical note is tattooed on his upper right arm.
Owolana was wearing a red shirt,
blue jeans, a black jacket, a baseball hat and a gold chain with a Versace
pendant.
Anyone with information is asked
to call police at 312-747-8274.
