A suspected assassin who allegedly murdered an innocent mother-of-nine and her sleeping nephew in a Snapchat revenge hit in UK, is facing life in prison.
Obina Ezeoke, 28, was convicted of double murder on Wednesday after a record five successive trials at the Old Bailey.
Student Bervil Kalikaka-Ekofo, 21, and his aunt Annie Ekofo, 53, were executed by Ezeoke, 28, after he sneaked in through their unlocked front door in East Finchley, north London, on September 15, 2016.
Ezeoke, of Bethnal Green, carried out the revenge hit after footage of him being attacked was shared on Snapchat by rivals, including Ms Ekofo’s son Ryan Efey, 22, the Old Bailey heard.
Mr Efey was probably the intended target but Ezeoke decided he would kill anyone in the flat.
There’s always a resentment when you guys describe certain persons as “Nigerians” because their parents came from Nigeria.
If Mr. Ezeoke and or Mr. Efey have identified themselves as Nigerians, then, that would make a difference. They have not. Both Mr. Ezeoke and Mr. Efey have probably never visited Nigeria before in their lives and have no ideological or philosophical ties to country. So, I don’t understand why you guys in the press always characterize these people as Nigerians.
