POLICE in Bradford are appealing for information on Amjab Ali Azam who is wanted on recall to prison.  

Amjab, who is also known as Amjad, was released on licence in November last year after serving more than 12 years of a 15-year-sentence for his part in the murder of a Keighley security guard.

Qadir Ahmed was killed in a brutal gang attack near Keighley Leisure Centre in 2002 against a background of drug dealing. Azam was found guilty of buying axes and hammers involved in the killing.

He was part of a gang of seven jailed in 2003.

He is now wanted on recall for breaching the conditions of his licence.  

Police would also like to speak to him about two matters of assault.  

Extensive enquiries have been carried out to trace Azam, who is 35 and is believed to be living in the Keighley area.  

He has links to Bradford and Halifax, as well as Lancashire and Manchester.  

He is described as Asian, about 6ft 2ins tall, of broad build with brown eyes and short black hair and sometimes wears glasses.  

He is not believed to pose a risk to the general public, but anyone who sees him is advised not to approach him and call police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, who can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555111."
