FG condemns Nigerian-British boy's murder

The Federal Government has described the death of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, who tragically lost his life in a sword attack in London, United Kingdom, on Tuesday, as unfortunate, sad and gruesome.

The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said this in a condolence message to the family, on Thursday.

Dabiri-Erewa, in a statement signed by the spokesperson for NiDCOM, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, condoled with the family of the deceased and the Nigerian communities in the UK,  “praying unto God to rest the soul of young Daniel whose life was cut short on Tuesday.”

She maintained optimism that decisive actions would be taken to ensure that the culprit, who is already in police custody, received appropriate punishment, the statement added.

Anjorin, a student at Bancroft’s private school in Woodford Green, shared the same educational institution with Grace O’Malley-Kumar, a victim of a knife attack in Nottingham.

The accused in Anjorin’s death, Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, a Spanish-Brazilian national residing in Newham, East London, faced multiple charges, including attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary, and possession of a bladed article, as announced by the police on Wednesday.

Four individuals, including two Metropolitan Police officers, were injured in the incident on Tuesday.

Monzo, aged 36, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and was remanded in custody.

He is set to remain in custody until his appearance at the Old Bailey scheduled for Tuesday unless a hearing is arranged for Friday.
