The Police in the UK have arrested a fifth person in connection with the shooting of a Nigerian in Plumstead, southeast London on Friday.

Eniola Aluko, from Thamesmead, died at the scene of the incident after sustaining gunshot wounds to the neck and chest.

Police said they were called to the scene, a car park on Hartville Road, just before 5pm.

Mr Aluko was found with critical injuries and died at the scene a short while later.

A post-mortem examination held on Sunday gave the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the neck and chest.

He is one of three men who have lost their lives to fatal attacks this weekend in the capital.

Police said on Sunday that they had made a fifth arrest over Mr Aluko’s death. An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody.

Four teenagers – one 17-year-old boy, two 16-year-old boys and one 17-year-old girl – who were arrested on Friday have all been bailed until July pending further enquiries.

Detective Inspector John Marriott, said:

“I am continuing to appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time, who saw or heard anything suspicious to contact police.

“The shooting took place not far from Plumstead Railway Station and I would urge anyone who was commuting to or from this station to come forward.

“It was also sunny at the time and a number of people would have been enjoying the weather in the area of Plumstead Gardens; I need you to come forward.

“Although we have now made five arrests I am continuing to ask for your help to progress this investigation.”
