A 23-year-old man, Ben Wazabanga, has been found guilty of murdering a United Kingdom-based Nigerian, Ayowale Aladejana, and will be sentenced on July 13.

The police said Wazabanga, of Fairfax Road, Bedford, murdered the 26-year-old Nigerian in New Cross, London, after a dispute over money.
According to investigators, extensive CCTV footage, phone analysis and vehicle tracking evidence established that Wazabanga deliberately travelled from Bedford to confront Aladejana before fatally stabbing him.
The statement read, “On Thursday, 11 June, a jury at Southwark Crown Court found Ben Wazabanga, 23, guilty of murdering 26-year-old Ayowale Aladejana.
