Abdul Adewale Kekere-Ekun
, who is wanted by the UK
government for the murder of 18-year old Marcus Hall, 14years ago following a fight outside a night
club in Luton, England, is
to be extradited to United kingdom.
Justice A. R
Mohammed , of the Federal High
Court sitting in Maitam, Abuja on Monday March 9, 2015 ordered the extradition
of Abdul Adewale Kekere-Ekun, to
the United Kingdom where he is wanted for murder related offences.
The UK Police had
difficulties tracking him down because he frequently disguises himself with
several aliases (Adebayo Dalvin James Ekun, Adeba Yo Kekere-Ekun, Adeba Yo Muta
Lito Kekere-Ekun, James Dalvin, James Adebayo, Dave Bell, David Aaro Hall,
Anthony Higgins, Lavelle Holder, Dalrin James, Dalvin James and Gary Edwin
Plummer).
The suspect was
arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in Lagos on February 12, 2015 with the support of the National Crime Agency.
He was picked up for identity theft related offences only for checks by the
agency to reveal that he is on the wanted list of the U.K Police. Kekere-Ekun is to be extradited after fifteen
days from the date of the ruling.
