Richard Okorogheye, a 19-year-old student at Oxford Brookes University, hasn’t been seen since he left home in the Ladbroke Grove area of west London on the evening of Monday, March, 22, and was last seen boarding a bus.

According to her, Richard left home at about 8.30 pm saying he was going to meet a friend but left his wallet, jacket, and medication behind.
“All he said to me was ‘mummy, I’m going to see my friend’. I trusted him, I had no doubt or no reason to ask him further questions,” she said.
Earlier today, police released new CCTV images of Richard, which shows wearing all black and had a black satchel-bag with a white Adidas logo, worn across his lower back.
He was also seen boarding the number 23 bus southbound in Ladbroke Grove at 8.44 pm on Monday, March, 22. It is unknown which stop he got off at.
