Emmanuel Odiase, 24, dodged police phone calls, refused to answer the door, and brazenly told detectives he would not come to the Old Bailey to give evidence.
The Haldane Road resident was one of the eye-witnesses to the stabbing of his friend , Olamide 'Trigger' Fasina, who was brutally stabbed to death by a mob in Thamesmead, southeast London, on October 24 last year.
Hmmm, the inclusion of a ‘street name’ gives you a good idea why this murder occurred…
The judge jailed him for 21 days, saying he would serve half before being released.
Odiase, a student with three young children, may also be forced to pay a new £1,200 Crown Court surcharge after he was found guilty of contempt of court.
What a wonderful role model he is to his offspring…
Olamide, isn't that a topical treatment for athletes foot?

ReplyDeleteOne of the Hampshire Odiases' is he, or the Sussex branch of the family?
I understand that it was a 'black on black' drugs deal that went wrong. Either way, he is stuffed. If he gives evidence, he'll be found with his tongue up his arse. If he doesn't, he'll do time and the kids will end up in care. Now, all it will take is a copper with a wicked sense of humour, shaking his hand as he leaves prison and loudly thanking him for his help. Swim with the sharks and you're likely to get bitten!

ReplyDeleteHeh! The subject of the last post might know him...?
