Four Nigerian students have been jailed in the United Kingdom (UK) over a violent street brawl in Leicester City centre.

Destiny Ojo, Joshua Davies-Ero, Ridwanulahi Raheem, and Habib Lawal, all aged 21, used knives, a baseball bat, and a crutch as weapons during the fight that took place at about 03:00 GMT on November 4, 2021.

The defendants were found guilty of various offences at the Leicester Crown court on Thursday after a six-week trial.

“A man, who was 18 at the time, suffered stab wound injuries in the incident requiring hospital treatment,” the Leicestershire police said in a statement on Monday.

“After the suspects left the scene, police enquiries carried out over the following few months included CCTV analysis, phone work, and public appeals which led to identifications being made.”

The Leicestershire police said CCTV footage showed that the men, all from London, were spotted with several weapons.

“Davies-Ero was seen carrying a crutch and Ojo a baseball bat, while Lawal was seen with what was believed to be a large knife. Raheem carried a large knife,” the police said.

The court sentenced Ojo to seven years in prison for violent disorder, attempted grievous bodily harm, and committing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Lawal was jailed for five years for violent disorder, attempted grievous bodily harm, and committing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The court also sentenced Raheem to a three-year prison sentence for violent disorder and possession of a bladed article.

The fifth person, who was identified as Asamoah, who in the past pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article, is due to be sentenced on Friday.
