Jeffrey Okafor (left), the Nigerian suspected of
killing a young rapper and DJ named Carl Beatson
Asiedu (pictured right),who was stabbed to death
outside a nightclub in south London in 2009 (read
story here) has been arrested in Nigeria.
Okafor was arrested by Nigerian police on
Tuesday September 23rd about a month after UK
police looking for him launched a high-profile
online appeal to trace him. Okafor was last seen
on CCTV boarding a flight at Heathrow Airport
using his brother's passport about two weeks
after the murder.
A UK police source said he's in police custody in
Nigeria and proceedings are now underway for his
extradition to the UK so he can face charges for
the killing.
