A Nigerian teenager, Oluwatobiloba Akinrinola, has been jailed in the UK for his role in a violent robbery where party guests were threatened, assaulted and humiliated during a planned attack.
Akinrinola, 19, of Slippers Place, London was sentenced to seven years in prison alongside Richile Vangu, 20, who received an 11-year jail term after Leicester Crown Court heard details of the offences.
The court was told that the pair were involved in a robbery at a gathering in North Kilworth, Leicestershire, on November 21, 2025, where partygoers were threatened with a knife and forced to take part in a dance for social media.
Vangu was said to have organised the robbery and recruited others, including Akinrinola, to help carry out the attack.
At the party, at least eight men were forced into a bedroom where they were threatened with a large “zombie-style knife” as designer clothing and an iPhone were stolen.
