Using his partner Dina Aweimrin’s bank card at Dubai airport, Adan then booked himself a flight to Somalia, where he is believed to be evading arrest.
Aweimrin, 22, was jailed for three years for her actions after being found guilty of assisting an offender.
South Yorkshire Police said: “We have strong reason to believe the outstanding suspect is in Somalia and enquiries are ongoing, including discussions with the Foreign and Commonwealth office. The images have been circulated with the relevant border agencies and authorities.”
