Sister's appeal for missing Nida Ul-Naseer to come home | Sister's appeal for missing Nida Ul-Naseer to come home |
(35 minutes later) | |
The sister of teenager Nida Ul-Naseer, missing from her home for six days, has made an emotional appeal for her to come home. | |
Nilah Anwar said the family in Newport "miss Nida desperately" and stressed she was not in any trouble. | |
Gwent Police say Nida, 18, had an argument at home which could have upset her. | |
But they added there was no suggestion she was picked up in a vehicle. | |
Officers are extremely concerned for her welfare as she is without her medication, which could make her anaemic. | |
"The most worrying thing is she's missed mum's birthday, which is not like her," Ms Anwar told a news conference. | |
Ms Ul-Naseer was last seen taking out rubbish at her home in Linton Street at about 20:00 GMT on 28 December. | |
Gwent Police have searched open areas around the family's home and have made house-to-house inquiries. | |
Ms Anwar urged her sister to get in touch and asked anyone who knew where she might be to contact police. | |
"We are missing her, we just want to tell her that she's not in trouble. We all love her, we all love you Nida. Just come home," she said. | |
"Please, please tell police if you know anything - anything about her - please call police on 101. Please help us." | |
Gwent Police's assistant chief constable, Paul Symes, said up to 40 officers had been involved in the search for Ms Ul-Naseer since she went missing. | |
They have been trawling through hours of CCTV footage to try to locate her. |
