Son Of Famous Ibadan Politician Jailed For 30Years In UK for Murder.of teenager.

The son of popular Ibadan based politician Alhaji Yekini
Adeojo, Sodiq Adeojo, has been sentenced to 30 years in
prison for his involvement in the murder of 17 year-old
Sylvester Akapalara on December 29,2010.
Sodiq Adeojo,20, of Peckham was tried along with two of
his brothers, Qudus, 18, and a 16 year old who cannot be
named for legal reasons. All the three brothers were said to
belong to the notorious GAS Gang of Brixton.
His other two brothers were cleared in the murder case, but
Sodiq was convicted of murder, two counts of attempted
murder, possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life
and having an offensive weapon.
After the murder the gang tried to intimidate key witnesses
by putting out leaflets warning them not to assist the
police in their investigations or they will be dealt with.
Delivering his judgement, Judge Timothy Pontious said:
“Sylvester was an athlete of remarkable ability. He
happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It
seems he was just one of the many victims targeted in the
last few years in mindless and appalling violence simply
because of their membership or presumed membership of
opposing gangs.”.
