The trial of Jeffery Okafor, the 23-year old Nigerian arrested in Asaba in September for the murder of a teenage university student, commenced in London Friday.
Mr. Okafor was extradited to London and handed over to prosecutors in the case on Thursday, November 6, icirnigeri.org can authoritatively report.

An officer of the Homicide and Major Crime Command of the British Police, who does not want to be named, confirmed to our reporter on Friday morning that Mr. Okafor was charged before a Croydon Magistrate Court for murder early Friday.
According to the source, since the magistrate court does not have the competence to try a murder case, the matter is expected to be transferred to a higher court in the following days. The higher court will determine when Mr. Okafor’s trial will start and whether he should be held in custody until his trial proper commences.
