The Federal Government has
demanded justice from the UK Government over the killing of Mr Abraham Badru,
son of Enitan Badru, a member of the House of Representatives, representing
Lagos Island federal constituency, by a gunman in London.
Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior
Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Foreign Affairs and
Diaspora, made the demand in a statement by her Media aide, Mr Abdur-Rahman
Balogun, on Wednesday in Abuja.
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 11 p.m. on March 25.
“The deceased, a son of a current
member of the House of Representatives (Lagos Island Constituency 1), Mr Dolapo
Badru, has 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 convictions of the attackers.
“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 thorough investigation into the
gruesome killing of this young Nigerian and bring the perpetrator to justice
accordingly,’’ Dabiri-Erewa stated.
