Four Nigerian Youths Jailed For British Teenager's Murder EDITED

angry angry

Three men have been jailed for at least 18 years each for murdering a 15-year-old schoolboy at a tube station.

Sofyen Belamouadden was stabbed nine times after pupils from two rival schools clashed at Victoria station in central London in March 2010.

Obi Nwokeh, 19 (Ibo), Christopher Omoregrie, 18,(Edo) and Samson Odegbune, 18,(Edo or Delta) were given life sentences at the Old Bailey and told they must serve a minimum of 18 years. They were ordered to serve concurrent eight-year detention sentences for conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.

The judge, Christopher Moss, said the "ferocious and merciless attack" took place in front of horrified commuters. "You gathered together for the purpose of serious mass violence in a busy public place at the height of the rush hour," he said.

Moss was sentencing eight people found guilty of various offences during a series of trials. He said the 12-second attack on Sofyen had followed a minor confrontation the day before between pupils of two west London schools in the food area of Victoria station.

After messages by text and on Facebook, pupils from the defendants' school armed themselves with knives and a samurai sword, expecting the other group to attack their school. But the confrontation came at Victoria when pupils from Sofyen's school were charged by teenagers led by Odegbune holding the sword.

A breakaway group chased Sofyen into the tube ticket office area and kicked, stabbed and struck him with other weapons as travellers watched in disbelief. The judge said the youths had shown no remorse and had not acknowledged responsibility for the death.

Earlier, Sofyen's father, Abdeslan, 51, said his son had been a promising footballer who dreamed of playing for England. "He was a star in the making. He was an outstanding all-round player. He was born and bred in London and often talked of his ambition to represent England in the World Cup final."

He said in an impact statement that Sofyen's death had left his family devastated. "I have no wish to inflict revenge on the culprits but Sofyen, whose life was tragically cut short, would expect justice to take its course. I often think of the suffering he must have gone through, that he was set upon with such savagery and why I was not there to protect him," he said.

Sofyen's mother, Naima Belamouadden, said: "I hope the memory of what they did to my son lives with them every day as it lives with me."

Adonis Akra, 18, Samuel Roberts, 19, and Femi Oderinwale, 18,(Yoruba) were found guilty of manslaughter and given 12 years' detention each. Victoria Osoteku, 19,(Edo) the only woman charged in connection with the death, was also found guilty of manslaughter and will be sentenced next week. Tyrone Richards, 17, and Enoch Amoah, 19, were found guilty of conspiracy to commit GBH and were sentenced to seven years' detention.

The defendants, all from west London, were among 20 pupils charged in connection with the attack. Four youths were earlier sentenced to two years' detention after pleading guilty to violent disorder. Three have been cleared of all charges and four others are still to be tried.

Please we need to educate those who have never travelled out of Lagos all their lives that not every tribe after Ijebu Ode is Ibo.

BlackBaron:

This was a well circulated story in the UK. The murdered teen was set upon by a group of teenagers in full view of returning commuters near a train station. The youths involved were clearly British citizens of Nigerian descent. Only highlighting this for the benefit of diasporan parents.

Nowt to do with inferiority complex.

shymmex:

It's not even an Igbo or Yoruba thing - another Nigerian, a Yoruba boy (Simon Kolawole) - was sentenced to 14 years in prison for manslaughter today..
Please, don't make it a tribe..

MRbrownJAY:

first lets get ONE thing straight: the youths involved in the Victoria station attack were NOT ALL of Nigerian descent. you only have to read the name of some of the culprits in the dock to understand that.....unless of course, names such as Chris Goncalves, Samuel Roberts, Enoch Amoah and Tyrone Richards are Nigerian names to you?

and therefore thats what you should have written: 3 British youth OF NIGERIAN DESCENT were jailed......and since they were all in a GROUP of about 20, and many in that group were not of Nigerian descent. we can all conclude that their DESCENDANCE had absolutely nothing to do with anything.

but hey, many are doing WORST crimes in Nigeria on a DAILY BASIS, why should people of Nigerian descent abroad be viewed any differently?! is it because some people (of Nigerian descent) are "lucky" to be in the UK doing crimes, while MANY desperate Nigerians in Nigeria dream of going there (to do something good to better their lives), and cant........... thus feeling bitter about these jailed youngsters?

the youth problems in the UK is NOT a Nigerian problem, it is a countrywide problem, that is affecting EVERYBODY.

shymmex: Nigerians are crazy people - keep blaming the parents... If the shyte hole called Nigeria didn't drive these parents, who wanted better lives for their kids into exile - these boys won't be in the situation they're in right now..

What can the parents do?? Most parents our here work VERY hard, to pay bills, tax, and look after their kids - but it's not as easy as you guys think. Parents work round the clock most times, and are never at home. These kids grew up around gang members, and drug dealers - and they're enticed from a young age... It's different out here, if you are raised in a council flat.. You've to form a bond with all the 'yutes' you grew up with - because everywhere is territorial.. That's the only way you won't get bullied, and probably fend for yourself without depending on your parents..

One other thing most people don't know is that, most Nigerian kids out here were raised in broken homes - where the Dad is either absent, or around, but don't play active roles in the lives of their kids... Naija mums in the UK are BLACK QUEENS, trust me - and you can't blame them, because most of them break their backs everyday doing odd jobs, to cater for their kids... The system is just phucked up, and the thieving bastards in the shyte hole called Nigeria - have also destroyed their home country..

It's easy for you guys to come on the internet and post silly comments - but please do a thorough research before posting your ignorance...

Please we need to educate those who have never travelled out of Lagos all their lives that not every tribe after Ijebu Ode is Igbo.

beatrice webb: @justwise,u better be careful an know who an who to retaliate,is it not not igbo pple that dominates "money ritual" in this our beloved country? Okija shrine,clifford orji etc where are they from,u think UK is nigeria where u can carry out all sorts of evil act an get away with it? Just as your brother ibori did,thanks to the british for curbing the ANIMALISTIC behaviour of the igbo pple!

akiesony: Unfortunately, D average yoruba person is two faced, double standard, back stabbing, scheming and tribalistic. you must never take what they say at face value but must try to see the real motive behind their actions most times. In this case, the comments about 'igbos' is so blatant that I suspect it was posted to just instigate and generate response / comments for nairaland.
I think it is about time a parallel Nigerian forum is set up that can compete with Facebook in terms of content, decorum and proper conduct.
