On Saturday, Arsenal fans paid tribute to Daniel Anjorin, the late British-Nigerian teenage fan who was murdered by a sword-wielding attacker in London.
Gatekeepers News reports that on Tuesday Daniel was mortally wounded following an attack by a man wielding what appeared to be a Samurai-type sword. The deceased had left his home to go to school.
Until his death, he attended Bancroft’s private school in Woodford Green – also attended by Nottingham attack victim Grace O’Malley-Kumar.
Police tasered and arrested the suspect, a 36-year-old man who remains in custody on suspicion of murder. He has not been named and was not previously known to police.
The independent school attended by Anjorin said in a statement Wednesday that they had been left in “profound shock and sorrow” at the pupil’s death.
Gunners, during their their game against Bournemouth on Saturday, paused play in the 14th minute as fans clapped in honour of the 14-year-old Daniel whose favourite player was Bukayo Saka.
The scoreboard beamed Daniel’s image with banners reading “R.I.P Daniel” displayed in various parts of the Emirates Stadium in honour of the Arsenal fan.
