Dunya Abdulla: police ‘extremely concerned’ after father and daughter, 3, disappear without a trace

Police say they are “extremely concerned” about Ahmed Karwan Abdulla, 36, and his three-year-old daughter Dunya - who have been missing for 11 days.

The pair disappeared on Monday, 10 April when they were last seen in the Promenade area of Blackpool, Lancashire, NationalWorld’s sister site the Blackpool Gazette reports. They were reported missing eight days and police efforts are now under way to find them.

PC Cat Angus, of Blackpool Police, said: “We are extremely worried about Ahmed and Dunya and it is out of character for them to disappear like this. We need to trace father and daughter to make sure they are safe and well.

“They have not been seen since April 10 and while they could still be in Blackpool they could equally have left the area. Perhaps you have seen them, or maybe you know Ahmed and have previously heard him discussing plans to travel elsewhere. If you see them, or have any information about where they may be, please tell us.”

Ahmed, who also goes by Karwan, is described as 5ft 8ins, of stocky build, with brown eyes, short black hair and a dark beard. Dunya is described as having curly, shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes and is around three feet tall.

They might still be in Blackpool but they also have links to Manchester and Kent and could have travelled further afield.

You can call 101 with any information or for immediate sightings call 999.
