The fa­ther of Akeisha Wor­rell who has been miss­ing for al­most two weeks is ask­ing the pop­u­la­tion to pray for her safe re­turn.

“I’m ap­peal­ing for the Prime Min­is­ter, the min­is­ters, every­body, I would like your prayers, at this point of time I would like the na­tion’s prayers,” Franky Wor­rell said.

He asked any­one with in­for­ma­tion about her where­abouts to reach out to the fam­i­ly re­gard­less of the news they may have.

“All Mandirs, Bap­tist church, Catholic church, we would like you to join us in prayers for this la­dy please,” he plead­ed at his Co­corite home.

Akeisha, 32, was last seen on Sat­ur­day, Feb­ru­ary 17 by her two chil­dren at their Pe­tit Val­ley Morne Co­co Road apart­ment. She left home that day and has not been seen or heard from since.

“Af­ter nine I got the text it was like ‘Mum­my miss­ing, mum­my nah come home,” her sis­ter Philomen Wor­rell said.

Philomen said the next day rel­a­tives made a po­lice re­port to the West End Po­lice Sta­tion.

“They say they in­ves­ti­gat­ing it and they think they have a hunch...I find they drag­ging their foot and I would like to tell them please don’t drag you all foot, please hasty up this in­ves­ti­ga­tion,” she said.

Last Mon­day, the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) sent a me­dia re­lease ask­ing the pop­u­la­tion for ur­gent as­sis­tance in find­ing Akeisha.

The re­lease said she is of African de­scent, with a dark brown com­plex­ion, medi­um build, brown eyes, and small pierced ears.

But rel­a­tives said it’s un­like Akeisha to leave her chil­dren alone for so long and ac­cord­ing to them, her eight-year-old and eleven-year-old are griev­ing.

“My nephew he is a mom­ma’s boy, he’s not re­al­ly eat­ing much...my niece she’s to her self but you see­ing the grief on her face,” Philomen said.

Philomen added the en­tire fam­i­ly is in a state of de­spair but is still cling­ing to hope that Akeisha will re­turn soon even though all calls to her cell phone are go­ing straight to voice­mail.

“I would like to tell my sis­ter that even though we had we dif­fer­ences, I love you, I miss you, come home,” she cried.

Any­one with in­for­ma­tion on Akeisha’s where­abouts can call the fam­i­ly at 306-8498 or the po­lice at 800-TIPS.
