Ademola “Addy” Owolana, 26, a tourist from London who went to a
reggae club in the West Pullman neighborhood, Chicago, ran off after
stepping outside around 4 a.m. Sunday and hasn’t been seen by his family
since. Police and relatives are now searching for him and growing
increasingly concerned for his safety because he’s not familiar with the
area.
He was last seen at 4 a.m. outside of the Low Key club, 11627 S.
Michigan Ave.,. 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.
He 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.
Relative, 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 told ABC7. The man who was outside with Owolana ran
back into the club to get the rest of the group, but he was gone when
they went outside, Natalie said.
They searched the area but could not find him, 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.
