A 22-year-old Nigerian boxer, Oluwafemi Omosuyi, is fighting for his life after having ‘half his face blown off’ in a London shooting on Saturday, June 2, 2018.

Femi who is a -professional boxer was sitting inside a blue Ford Focus with friends close to his mum’s home when the attack happened.

He was hit with a shotgun in the upper body, suffered pellet wounds to his face and gunshot wounds to his arm and hand. His friend who was also shot suffered superficial injuries in the gangland attack.

His 53-year-old mom, Stella Aldetam, said she was shocked that her son was shot by an unknown gang.

She said Femi was never involved in gangs and his friends were always nice adding that she wants the culprits arrested soon.

Stella said,

“I was so shocked, he was in the operating theatre until about midnight yesterday. ‘I was so panicked I couldn’t even eat, just panic and shock.

“He is sleeping now, his sister is with him in hospital.’ She said of the attack.

“He was in the car with friends and they just came up and shot him through the window in the face, he also was hit in the arm and the hand.

“Femi was never involved in gangs and his friends were always nice, these two boys who shot him I just want them arrested. ‘I hope he is okay, you never pray for your children to get shot.”

She said Femi works out three days a week at the All Stars Boxing Gym in west London.

Meanwhile, a friend, who did not want to be named, said Femi had got involved in the wrong crowd.

He said he had known him since he was a kid adding that these are the consequences when “kids just don’t respect their elders anymore.”

Some friends also said he got into the wrong crowd and was stabbed last year, allegedly by the same attackers who gunned him down.
