Abraham was shot in the chest in Dalston, east London, on 25 March 2018 while speaking on the phone with a friend.

Ronke Badru, who is still mourning Abraham, believed her son was killed as revenge for helping the police convict a gang of rapists in 2006.

Abraham, who was then 16 years old, also gave evidence that helped convict and jail nine boys who gang raped a 14-year-old schoolgirl.

Mrs. Badru, wife of House of Representatives member, Hon. Dolapo Badru, said she believed ‘in her heart’ that her son was gunned down in revenge, adding that Abraham received threatening messages and feared for his life.

She said the Badrus home was also pelted with eggs by families of the rapists. In fear, Abraham moved to Bristol while his mum was forced to move to another house.

“When he finished his masters he moved back to London and his car was vandalised outside on the street.

 

“They removed all the tyres and they smashed out the mirrors and the windscreen.

 

“He asked the police to be moved away, he was fearful for his life and was scared, he was worried.

 

“I feel in my heart it could be connected.

 

“I thought it was okay that he moved back to London because I thought everything had passed.

 

“It happened when he was little I thought that the people who had committed the crime would have been reformed and punished for what they had done.”
