At 9.54pm Ezedi travelled along Upper Thames Street and then into Pauls Walk. He passed the City of London School and then towards Blackfriars Bridge.

The last sighting is at 10.04pm when he passed the Unilever building and headed towards Victoria Embankment.

Commander Jon Savell said: “Our teams have been working tirelessly through the night and into today to pinpoint Ezedi’s latest movements and we are now able to release the latest images and footage of him.

“We continue to appeal for information about Ezedi’s whereabouts. It remains our belief that he is being helped by others and yesterday we arrested a man for assisting an offender. Our enquiries continue to target more of Ezedi’s associates.

“A £20,000 reward remains on offer for anyone who has information leading to his arrest.”

The manhunt is being led and co-ordinated by the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, with a team of more than 100 officers dedicated to the investigation from across a range of areas and specialisms including experienced detectives through to local neighbourhood officers.

The Met is also being supported by dozens of officers from forces across the UK including Northumbria and British Transport Police.

Police say they remain in liaison with the National Crime Agency, the Home Office, UK Border Force and UK Visas and Immigration.

Details of Ezedi have been circulated to all UK police forces and ports.
