Authorities in the UK are searching for a missing poet who was last seen at a festival where he was due to perform. 

Gboyega Odubanjo, 27, was attending the Shambala Festival in Kelmarsh, Northamptonshire over the weekend when he went missing.

Mr. Odubanjo's family have 'profound concern' for their son's safety and wellbeing and said his disappearance is 'entirely out of character'.

In their appeal, they said: 'He has a warm and infectious personality, a contagious smile, and a heart full of kindness.'

'We are reaching out to the community, friends, and all compassionate individuals who may have any information that could lead to his safe return. No piece of information is too small, and your help could be the key to bringing him back to us.

'Thank you for taking the time to read our appeal. We pray for Gboyega's safe return and for the strength to endure this challenging time,' they added. 

In 2020, Mr. Odubanjo won the Poetry Business New Poets prize for his pamphlet Aunty Uncle Poems and an Eric Gregory award from the Society of Authors.
