Date published: 13/04/2006

Police are continuing to appeal for the public's help to trace a 14-year-old boy who has been missing from home in Rochdale for several weeks.

Nhkali Ndongeni (18/05/91) first went missing home on Surma Close on Thursday 23 March 2006.

He is described as black, approximately 6ft tall, of large build with short brown hair and brown eyes. When he went missing he was wearing a black hooded top, a white shirt, black trousers and black boots.

It is thought Nhkali may be in the central Manchester area. He is thought to have a girlfriend in the Clayton area and may be staying with her. Nhkali has not been missing before.

Nhkali returned home briefly on 6 April 2006 at around 11.15pm. He collected some clothing and was seen by his brothers and sisters. However, his parents were in bed and he left before they could speak to him.

Police are concerned about his welfare and are asking him to get in touch with his family or police, so they know that he is safe and well.

Nhkali's mother Claudia Ndongeni said: "I just want Nhkali to come home. I miss him and want him to get in touch to let me know he is safe."  

Anyone who has seen Nhkali's or knows his whereabouts is asked to contact the Operational Policing Unit at Rochdale on 0161 856 8470.

A photograph of Nhkali is available from the Press Office on 0161 856 2220
