It’s only a matter of time before we find you. The best thing you can do is hand yourself in and tell your side of the story, before it’s told for you.”
That’s the message from Detective Superintendent Stephen Jennings, who’s appealing for the whereabouts of a man wanted in connection with the Robert Powell murder investigation.
To help Robert’s family get the answers they deserve, anyone with information leading to the arrest of 38-year-old Temitope Adeyinka could also be eligible for a reward of up to £10,000 through the charity Crimestoppers.
The appeal comes after the arrest of a second man wanted in connection with Robert’s murder.
Robert, 50, was shot outside an address in Roydon in the early hours of Saturday 13 June 2020. He died from his injuries the following day.
As part of the investigation, police appealed for the whereabouts of three men wanted in connection with Robert’s death.
Through the work of Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, working closely with the National Crime Agency and other law enforcement colleagues around the world, two of the three men are now in custody.
The latest man to be arrested, Israar Shah, 38, was located in Spain and has already been extradited back to the UK. He appeared in court on Monday 20 March to face the charge of murder and was remanded in custody.
He will next appear at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday 12 June.
Nana Oppong, 42, was previously detained by Moroccan authorities and formally arrested under a Red Notice and Provisional Arrest Request for the offences of murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and wounding without intent.
He remains in Moroccan custody while extradition proceedings continue.
The third man, 38-year-old Temitope Adeyinka, also known as Limo, is still outstanding and a European Arrest Warrant is in place for his capture.
The charity Crimestoppers, which is independent of the police, have also increased their reward to up to £10,000 for any information that leads to his arrest. Information can be given 100% anonymously.
If you know of Limo’s current whereabouts, don’t wait, call 999 immediately.
To be eligible for the reward of up to £10,000, you must contact the independent charity Crimestoppers directly with information that leads to Temitope’s arrest. Your report will be 100% anonymous.
