There is a \u00a320,000 reward for anyone who can offer information which releases information that leads to the capture of the killer of the son of a Nigerian MP, who recently received a police bravery award.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

26-year-old\u00a0Abraham Badru was gunned down in Hackney, east London, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0was a churchgoer and recently received a bravery award for intervening in a sex attack on a teenage girl.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
Mr Badru was praised after giving\u00a0evidence against a gang which\u00a0committed rape\u00a0on the Frampton Park Estate in 2007.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Police said he was shot while opening the boot of his car to look for a drink.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police said just before the attack – at around 11.10pm – Mr\u00a0Badru\u00a0had parked his black Mercedes on Ferncliff Road when he was approached by a suspect or suspects.<\/p>\n

He had not planned to be home at that time, but had returned due to a change of plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

P<\/span>aramedics and police were called to the scene,\u00a0but Mr\u00a0Badru\u00a0was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

A black male, believed to be wearing a black puffer jacket, walked along Ferncliff Road in the direction of Downs Park Road and through a nearby alleyway after the sound of a gunshot, officers added.<\/p>\n

His family have said they are devastated by his death, describing the pain as “unbearable.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0T<\/span>hey added: “Abraham\u00a0has been snatched from us; he didn’t die of an illness, a freak accident, or of natural causes, no death is ever easy but he died because he was shot.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

“He was shot by person\/persons terrorising the peace of the community, terrorising innocent people, threatening our freedom on our streets and threatening our progression.<\/p>\n

“We plead with any parent, siblings, extended family, friends, associates, in desperation that if you have any information to please come forward.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
T<\/span>he investigation into Mr\u00a0Badru’s murder is one of 48\u00a0inquiries Scotland Yard has launched so far this year – eight in January, 15 in February, 22 in March and three in April.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Police said Mr\u00a0Badru\u00a0– described as a “talented young man with ambitions and so much to live for cut down in his prime” – was not intending to be home and his return was due to a change of plans.<\/p>\n

Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh said: “The answer to\u00a0Abraham’s death lies in the community. I know that people are talking about what happened.<\/p>\n

“It is something truly out of the ordinary, a community hero being murdered.<\/p>\n

“His family and friends cannot comprehend what has happened, and there are no words that can adequately describe the pain\u00a0Abraham’s family are going through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0“Abraham\u00a0was a striking young man and a real contributor to society. He was awarded a National Police Bravery Award in 2009 after intervening in a rape and then giving evidence in court.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

“Such courage and an overwhelming sense of what was right and wrong clearly demonstrated his strength of character.”<\/p>\n

T<\/span>here have been two further\u00a0violent deaths in London this month, with a\u00a016-year-old boy becoming the youngest murder victim in London so far this year, succumbing to his wounds after he was fatally shot.<\/p>\n

The teenager, who was shot in the face in Walthamstow, east London, at around 10pm on Monday night, died in hospital with his family by his bedside on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

His death came after that of\u00a0Tanesha\u00a0Melbourne, 17, who was gunned down around 30 minutes earlier just three miles away in Tottenham. \u00a0(Telegraph)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
