An eyewitness identified as Paulina Wedderburn, says the 16-year-old Nigerian teenager, who was stabbed to death in London, looked like an angel.

The eyewitness said that John Ogunjobi looked so peaceful like he was sleeping.

“The boy was laying down. He looked like an angel like he was sleeping.

“I just feel sorry for the mum,” she added.

The mum’s screams, I can’t get out of my head. “It’s awful. Imagine being a mother seeing that.”

Ogunjobi’s death was just one of five fatal stabbings in London in the week beginning October 31.

According to the Guardian, Mrs Wedderburn, who has lived in a flat in Greenleaf Close for decades, also lamented the recent spate of violence and killings in south London, saying it had not always been that way.

“What’s going on? What is it? Why do they have to be killing each other?”

“When I was growing up in the 70s, if there was a fist fight, that was it. There were no knives.

“All you’re doing is upsetting families. If you saw the mum and dad, it was heartbreaking.”

Recall that WuzupNaija had reported that detectives in the UK have arrested four men, in their 20s, over their alleged role in the murder of Ogunjobi.

16-year-old Ogunjobi was stabbed with knives in South London on 5 November 2018.

He died from the injuries, right in front of his parents. Witnesses described Ogunjobi’s mom screams as heart-wrenching.
