UK police release CCTV of cars used in murder of Nigerian teenager, post £20,000 bounty on killers 

Published




CCTV footage of an Audi Q5 and a VW 5-door Polo believed to be linked to the murder of 16-year-old John Ogunjobi have been released by police today.

The Met has posted a £20,000 reward for information, saying they believe friends of the murdered teenager from Tulse Hill have yet to come forward.

Footage shows a black Audi Q5 with false plates (LB11 XPJ) and a light-coloured VW five-door Polo with damage to its offside rear bumper.

The black Audi was captured on CCTV at Texaco petrol station in Croxted Road in Dulwich at 10.41pm, having come from the direction of West Dulwich, before leaving toward Norwood Road at 10.53pm.

At the petrol station, the car was filled with petrol by a man in a long, green puffa coat and purple latex glove

The Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom also placed a £20,000 bounty on the killers of teenage Nigerian boy, John Ogunjobi, in Tulse Hill.

Officers are appealing for anyone who may have seen either car near Tulse Hill at the time to come forward.

16-year-old Ogunjobi was stabbed in the chest as he waited to be picked up by his mother in Tulse Hill on 5 November 2018.

Officers on patrol found 16-year-old John Ogunjobi collapsed in the street with stab injuries. Despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination at Greenwich Mortuary gave the cause of death as a stab wound.

Detective Chief Inspector Richard Vandenbergh who spoke on the latest development, said

“I am appealing to anyone who has information that could assist this investigation to come forward and speak to police. “We believe the victim was attacked by a number of suspects and the altercation would have undoubtedly been witnessed by a number of people.

“We are also asking people to think back as to whether they saw a black Audi Q5 car on the evening of the murder or in the days leading up to or following it. Think back, have you seen the Polo? Has anyone lent their Polo out and it has been returned damaged, or have you repaired the damage to a Polo matching this description or even had a crash with a similar Polo and exchanged details with the driver?

“I hope the reward associated with this case will help encourage people who have information, to share what they know. We are still working to establish the circumstances around the attack but believe that several people will have key information that would enable us to get justice for John’s family.

“Moreover, I think it is quite likely that some people who were friends with John will hold vital information that they haven’t shared with police. They should think about his death at such a tragically young age, think about the misery caused to John’s family and maybe think about the reward too – and then make what is surely an easy decision – to come forward and speak with police.”
