A 36-year-old man has been extradited from Turkey to the United Kingdom to face murder charges following the June 2020 killing of two Nigerians, Abayomi 'Junior' Ajose, 36, and Cheriff Tall, 21, at a party in Manchester. The suspects were shot during a gathering in Moss Side attended by approximately 400 people, a few hours after a Black Lives Matter protest.
The Greater Manchester Police confirmed the suspect's arrest on Sunday, stating that he was detained in Turkey and transferred to England the day prior. He was met at Stansted Airport and is currently in custody. The shooting took place at a car park near a block of flats, following the protest. The police have offered a £50,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil Higginson emphasized the police's commitment to justice for the victims and their families, noting that the arrest is a significant development in the ongoing investigation. He urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, particularly those who attended the party but have yet to speak with investigators.
