Meanwhile, a separate appeal for help, believed to have been published by a friend of Isaiah's family, has been shared over 8,000 times.

One Twitter user claims the teenager was last seen in Deptford, however this has not been confirmed.

"A very dear friend of mine is missing a loved one.. Isaiah Aderiye was last seen around Deptford in South-East London," the tweet reads.

"Hopefully some of you who are based in the area can keep an eye out."

The appeal has also been shared on the charity page of missingpeople.org.

A statement on the appeal page reads: “Isaiah we are here for you whenever you are ready; we can listen, talk you through what help you need, pass a message for you and help you to be safe.

"Call. Text. 9am-11pm Free. Confidential. 116000 ”

Police are asking anyone with any information that could help in the search to call 101 quoting reference number: 8680/01Jul.
