“Throughout the time since Daniel’s death, Igbinedion has continued to deny any involvement. However, a jury has seen through his story and convicted him of murder.”
Daniel’s mother, Augustina Kunu, said her son’s death had left her “empty, heartbroken, lonely, lost, devastated and confused”, in a statement read to the court.

She added: “I cannot concentrate or focus on my studies, I am unable to sleep and when I am able I wake up in tears because I can no longer see him lying by my side.
“I cannot get over Daniel’s death because of the bond we had. He was a brilliant son, a friend, a star, a hero and a help-mate.

“His death has affected my marriage, leaving it empty because Daniel was our dream, the pride and crown of our marriage.

“His dad, Victor, has been left broken-hearted, confused, lonely and empty. This whole matter has pulled our family apart. My prayer is that God will restore peace to our families.”
