BBNaija star, Khafi, loses brother in UK

BBNaija season 3 ex-housemate, Khafi Kareem, has lost her younger brother, Alexander Kareem, after he was killed in a London drive-by shooting on Monday, June 8. It was reported that Alexander, 20, was shot close to their family house in Shepherd’s Bush, West London while walking home from a convenience store when he was shot by a yet-to-be-identified person.

Witnesses claim that passers-by tried to give him CPR before paramedics reached the scene but Alexander was pronounced dead a short time after.

According to the post-mortem Alexander died from gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen.

Meanwhile, the UK Police are appealing for information about a white Range Rover driven by his killers which was found burned out three miles away from the scene of the shooting.

Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, while addressing the press said, “We are determined to bring those responsible for this unnecessary and terrifying violence to justice. We continue to appeal for witnesses who may have seen or heard what happened to come forward. The white Range Rover seen in the area and later found burned out is also a key part of the investigation.”

Khafi Kareem, who is also a policewoman in London, yesterday posted a black picture on her page to mourn him. Her Instagram page is now private, as at the time of this report.

Mourners left tributes and dozens of colourful bouquets near the scene of the shooting.

A metro police spokesman said “Officers from the Specialist Crime Command are investigating and are keeping an open mind as to the motive behind the attack. At this stage, there have been no arrests but enquiries are continuing."
