The London Metropolitan Police has offered £10,000 reward for information that will help track down and arrest a convicted murderer on the run for killing a Nigerian student in London.

Lerone Boye, 27, the alleged murderer, was sentenced to 28 years last December for the murder of 17-year-old Nigerian, Kelvin Chibueze.

Boye had stabbed Chibueze to death at a birthday party in Ilford in August 2011. He has not been seen since he escaped from the John Howard Centre in Kenworthy Road in Homerton on October 16.

Scotland Yard said there is “some intelligence to suggest” that Boye may be in the east London area . He is also known to have links to Barking, Newham and Ilford.

The London police officers describe Boye as a “black man who is 5 feet 10 inches tall and of slim build.

He had a distinctive horseshoe shape scar on his right cheek and a gold tooth in his upper row of teeth.

When last seen, he was said to be wearing a grey-blue sweat-shirt with a grey vest over the top. He was also wearing grey jogging bottoms. He had short hair and a goatee beard.

Members of the public are advised not to approach Boye, but to call 999 if they see him.

Four killers stabbed Chibueze to death after chasing him out of a nightclub brandishing champagne and brandy bottles.

Kelvin Chibueze, 17, rushed out of a private party at an east London venue after he was attacked in a mass brawl involving knives and bar stools.

The youth tripped outside a supermarket and the rival gang members sat on his legs to stop him running away before stabbing him repeatedly with a foot-long blade.

Dale Williams, 21, Lerone Boye, 25, Hugo Nwankwo, 18, and Roger Damali, 31, denied murder, but were convicted after a trial at the Old Bailey.

A judge condemned Britain’s ‘endemic’ knife culture as he jailed the four members of the Barking-based Harts Lane street gang for 93 years in total.

A fifth man, deaf-mute Ibrahim Zakari, 21, who threw a bottle at Kelvin during the chase, was earlier jailed for two years, but walked free because he had already served more than a year in jail on remand.

iykemoney90: they keep killing Nigerians in daispora...all the government is doing is fighting a political battle here #smh

Sermwell: Better to be alive with ASUU than die elsewhere!

GeneralShepherd: Why are Nigerian students being murdered left,right and centre? They complain we are criminals, but yet fail to protect the innocent ones amongst us? First it was Ada Obih in the US last week now another Nigerian!

What have we done to deserve the snuffing outing of our future academic juggernauts? Well if I get my scholarship to the UK, I sure will be packing a lot of heat to Cranfield make I hearsay whitey kill me?

Proud to be Nigerian,its the only place I call home!

aManFromMars:
This must be the most ignorant statement I've read in my life.

oche_ejemb:

The murder was perpetrated in 2011 though.

Lilimax:
Nigerians ganged up kill their fellow Nigerian in diaspora ?
Aren't they suppose to be their brothers keeper ?

Ndi nzuzu!

lorretta u: apart from nwankwo, are the others Nigerian? They sound strange to me.

Sermwell: Better to be alive with ASUU than die elsewhere!

Tony Spike: Why are so many young Nigerians into gangsterism in the UK? What the heck went wrong with UK-based Nigerian parents and their poor parenting? Most of these guys were born between 1980 and 1990. I wonder what went wrong during this period...
