Abraham Badru, a name that resonates with bravery and sacrifice, is a tragic tale of a hero who paid the ultimate price for standing up against injustice. Born to Nigerian parents in East London, Abraham's life was tragically cut short at the age of 26, leaving behind a grieving mother and a community in shock.
At the tender age of 14, Abraham displayed extraordinary courage when he intervened to stop a gang rape. He not only rescued the victim but also testified against the culprits in court, leading to their conviction. His bravery earned him a National Police Bravery Award, but it also marked him as a target for retribution.
Years after his heroic act, Abraham began receiving threatening messages warning him that he was "dead meat". Despite living under the shadow of fear, Abraham continued his life, pursuing his passion for sports science and working as a personal trainer. However, the threats turned into a horrifying reality when he was shot dead outside his home in #Hackney, #EastLondon, in #March #2018.
The impact of Abraham's death has been devastating, particularly for his mother, Ronke Ali Badru. She described her son as the pillar of her existence, and his loss has left her world shattered. Despite the pain, she has been vocal about her son's ordeal, sharing his story with the world and demanding justice for her slain son.
The #Britishpolice have been investigating Abraham's murder, but the case remains unsolved. The silence surrounding the investigation has raised concerns among Abraham's family and friends, who fear that his killer may never be brought to #justice.
