Nigerian man jailed for life in UK for murder

Read the press statement from EFCC
A Nigerian fugitive, Abdul Adewale Kekere-Ekun, who was arrested on February 12, 2015 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, for identity theft-related offences, has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the United Kingdom. He was jailed for the murder of 18-year-old Marcus Hall in 2001, following a brawl outside Luton’s Atmosphere Nightclub, where the popular music group, So Solid Crew, had performed.
Though 39-year old Mr. Kekere-Ekun, who goes by several aliases like Adebayo Dalvin James Ekun, Adeba Yo Kekere-Ekun, Adeba Yo Muta Lito Kekere-Ekun, James Dalvin, James Adebayo, had initially pleaded guilty to the murder charge before the Luton Crown Court, he later fled to Nigeria.
He was, however, arrested in Nigeria in February by the EFCC.

During investigation, it was revealed that Mr. Kekere-Ekun, who was arrested for fraud, was on the wanted list of the United Kingdom Police. Consequently, an extradition notice signed by the then Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, was served on him by the EFCC. He was finally extradited to the United Kingdom, where he reportedly admitted to the killing.

Before his conviction Monday, seven of the gang members had been convicted in 2002 and 2003 for their part in Mr. Hall’s murder, but two convictions were later quashed.

Revealing how he was traced, the Bedfordshire Police said he was identified in CCTV footage of the attack, where he was wearing a distinctive checked coat.

Upon discovery of a flyer for the shop found by the Bedfordshire Police during a raid on his home, detectives went to a designer clothes store in London, where it was discovered that the jacket was one of only nine sold in the United Kingdom and the convict was listed as one of the buyers.

After the sentencing, Mr. Hall’s mother, Icelyn Wilson, in a statement issued through the Bedfordshire Police, was quoted to have said, ‘‘My son’s death still hurts as if it had happened yesterday and I will never get over it. You did not just ruin one life, you left a ‘ripple effect’ which has impacted on everyone involved in my son, Marcus’ life.”

This is really sad, I see some of y'all fighting pointless tribalistic war there..smh.. We talking about pple's lives here, their family, friends! The media is indeed 1 of d evils we r fighting in this generation, he must ve bn involved in 1 way or d other as he pleaded guilty for obvious reasons, and nothing can justify losing a loved 1, but a lot of lies were told.. Hope every1 finds peace in d end and condolences to Marcus Hall's Family.

Whenever people interject tribe in their argument, (especially when the topic has nothing to do with tribe) it immediately display the individual's asinine thought process.
Am Igbo and there have been a lot of negative, absolute disgusting news associated with some Igbo people recently; God knows every time I see drug headline am praying God pls not another get rich quick Igbo man. As an Igbo girl do I relate or sympathize with those individuals, or should I have to endure insults simply because a stranger that shares only a tribe in common with me is an animal in human disguise?
Really its simply, if tribe shaming is the first thing that comes to mind every time you see such news, then you're no different from rednecks out here hunting down black folks.
Grow up and find more throughout line of argument.

I'm always ashamed and appalled at the insults vomitted by Nigerians esp.in the younger generation over verbal tribal attacks cos it only shows how deep Nigerians teach tribalism right from their homes... PITY

Anonymous said...

I am sure the daft punks are Igbo, very tribalistic and petty people. Always chatting dust. What about Ezego, what about your 419 and kidnapping dons? Don't know when you will learn to eschew tribal sentiments so we can progress as a nation.

Guy you messed up o! You should just have stayed instead of fleeing to Nigeria, you were not complicit in the murder, you were just sighted on the CCTV footage of the crime scene, now see how you ended up? What happens to the poor young girl you married? Seun??? She prollly didn't know the real you. Pele. God be with you and God grant the hall family the fortitude to bear the loss.

This has nothing to do with tribes or countries. It has to do with ones personality... Every one is responsible for their actions taken in life. Stop categorizing and discriminating tribes according to a person's action.
