Olaji, 21, had the night at a friend’s house seeing football when he was attacked “meaningless” at the East Surrey Grove farm, near Commercial Way in 2015.
He died at the hospital on April 21, 2015, after being stabbed and shot and ten years later, Ola’s sisters have ghosts or “10 years of loss.”(Image: With the Police)
The sisters of Ola, Zainab Raji and Ruki Ware said: “This is a painful reminder of 10 years of loss: our family will not recover that time.
“When we meet, there is always that feeling of something that is missing.
“There are children who never know their uncle, who would be so young even now.
“The laugh we share is that a little less noisy. There is an absent smile in the photographs.
“But it is not just our family. It is security in the streets of Pckham and in the widest area of southern London. (Image: With the Police)
“There is no doubt that the people who did this once could carry out similar attacks again. Maybe they have already done so.
“We are approaching the truth, for example, now we know about the phone calls that Ola received shortly before the attack.
“Only the smallest evidence of any witness or those with knowledge of what happened could be enough to put those responsible behind bars and make the streets safer for the entire community.”
The independent beneficial organization Crimetoppers offers a reward of up to £ 20,000 for information that leads to the identification and prosecution of that response for the murder of Ola.
Police are partially interested in speaking witnesses described as:
- A woman driving a black vauxhall in the area between 9.45 pm at 11 pm
- Two men who returned to an address in Pear Court at 11.10 pm

Three individuals were arrested under suspicion or murder. Two other people were arrested for perverting the course of justice.
However, no additional action was tasks against thesis individuals and criminal charges were never presented.
The detectives continue to investigate the possibility that Ola’s attackers left the scene on foot through a cut from Cator Street, to Sumner Road, before becoming Rosemary Road in the direction of the Surrey Canal Route.
Detective chief inspector Alex Gammampila, who directs the investigation, said: “Ola was an innocent man, in the wrong place at the worst moment.
“His murder has devastated his friends and family, and those of the local community.
“Ten years, continuously to appeal to anyone who has information to be presented.
“Were you in Peckham that night? Were you also watching football that night or were you near Commercial Way?
“Did you see or hear the shooting or something that seemed unusual?
“No piece of information is too small, and it could be the final piece of the puzzle that leads us to identify the wave attackers.”
Alexa Loukas, regional manager of London in Crimeppers, said: “As Olaji’s family continues its sincere attraction for justice 10 years after this tragic murder, we want to remind people that their attackers have not caught.
“This is deeply disturbing for their loved ones and the local community. Therefore, as part of this appeal of the tenth anniversary that we offer up to £ 200,000 for recurring information to our crime of charity, which helps lead to the conviction of Ola attackers.
“We know that there can be several witnesses who have information, but for any reason, talking to the police is not an option.
“We are an independent beneficial organization, separated from the police, and we cannot identify anyone to contact us.”
