A court in the United Kingdom has sentenced a Nigerian fugitive, Abdul Kekere-Ekun, to life imprisonment for the murder of 28-year old Marcus Hall in 2001.
Uwujaren said that the 39-year old Kekere-Ekun who initially pleaded guilty to the charge of murder before the Luton Crown Court later attempted to escape justice by fleeing to Nigeria.
He said that the convict was arrested by the EFCC for fraud and was later extradited to the UK when it was discovered that he was wanted for murder in the UK.
He said, “During investigation, it was revealed that Kekere-Ekun, who was arrested for fraud, was on the wanted list of the United Kingdom Police. “Consequently, an extradition notice signed by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, was served on him by the EFCC.
He was finally extradited back to the United Kingdom, where he reportedly admitted to the killing. Uwujaren said that prior to the conviction of Kekere-Ekun, seven of the members of the gang were convicted for the murder in 2002. He said that two of the convictions were later reversed.
