Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that Muiz Olatunji, a 25-year-old man who escaped from lawful custody, remains on the run. The force issued an urgent public appeal on Sunday, June 28, urging anyone who sees him not to approach him and to call police immediately.

Olatunji, who is of no fixed abode but from Salford, is described as a black male of medium build, with black Afro hair, and approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall. He is believed to have links to Glasgow and Scotland, in addition to Greater Manchester.
