The Federal Government has demanded justice from the UK
Government on the killing of a Nigerian, Mr. Abraham Badru, by a
gunman in London.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs
and Diaspora, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made the demand in a
statement by her media aide, Mr. Abdur-Rahman Balogun, on
Wednesday.
Dabiri-Erewa was quoted as making the call in a letter written
to the British High Commissioner in Nigeria.
“I wish to sadly bring to your attention, the killing of a
26-year-old Nigerian, Mr. Abraham Badru, by a gunman on Ferncliff
Road, Hackney, London, at about 11pm on March 25.
“The deceased, a son of a current member of the House of
Representatives (Lagos Island Constituency 1), Mr. Dolapo Badru,
worked as a football coach at the University of Gloucestershire,
UK.
“The deceased was also recently honoured with bravery award by
the police after saving a sex-attack victim and assisted in the
conviction of the attackers.
According to her, it is pertinent to inform you that Badru’s
death is a great loss to his family and he was the only child of
his mother.
Dabiri-Erewa stated, “His death has left his parents and other
members of his family in deep shock, grief and agony.
“He was a successful and law-abiding person in the United
Kingdom and also the Sports Development Officer for six months in
the city of Bristol.
“In view of the foregoing, we appeal to the British Government
to conduct a thorough investigation into the gruesome killing of
this young Nigerian and bring the perpetrator to justice
accordingly.”
She condoled with the family of the deceased and prayed God to
comfort them.
