Paramedics desperately try to save the 16-year-old boy’s life has lies critically injured on Portobello Road, Notting Hill, last night

His pal, who wouldn’t give his name, lay flowers for the 16-year-old and said: “Fola was a lovely boy. So lovely.
“He wouldn’t hurt a fly.
“I know what happened, he was protecting a friend over a silly beef which turned violent.

“But no arrests have been made. They haven’t caught the people who did this.
“I put sunflowers down for him.”

Witnesses say drinkers at the Portobello Star pub rushed to help the boy as they saw him stagger down the street at 8.45pm yesterday evening, but he collapsed near to Portobello Arts Club.

But despite paramedics’ efforts, the youngster lost his fight for life just two doors down from the book shop featured in Hugh Grant’s Notting Hill film.

He is the fourth teenager to be killed in London so far this year.

Passersby read tributes to the much-loved teen

A mum-of-one said she watched police resuscitate the teen after he collapsed.

The woman who asked not to be named said: “It was traumatising.

“It took half an hour for the ambulance to arrive even though there are hospitals all around.

“I spoke to the person who called the police and he said it took them so long to get here.

All I could see were his feet and lots of blood. I’m a mum, for me this is so sad, that’s someone’s child. That’s someone’s baby.

“I watched out of the window and could see the reflection of a police car.

“There were loads of people including paramedics with orange vests on

Three teenagers have been arrested in connection with the death of a 16-year-old Nigerian, Folajimi Orebiyi, who was stabbed to death in Notting Hill, West London.

The Metropolitan police said two of the suspects – 16-year-old boys – were arrested on Monday night and were being held at separate London police stations.

The third suspect, a 15-year-old boy, was arrested earlier in the evening.
A resident, Mark Gettleson, said he was amazed by the incident and demanded that the perpetrators be arrested and brought to book.

A Nigerian security expert, Dr. Ona Ekhomu, said the attacks might have been carried out by Britons who lacked proper understanding of Brexit.

Ekhomu added, “This is something that is expected as fallout of the Brexit vote because the Brexit itself succeeded in xenophobia. Most Nigerians migrate to the UK on visas as against those who used EU protocol to come into the UK. However, a common, uneducated British guy does not know the difference.

“They think everybody is an EU beneficiary, who comes to take up their jobs. In fact, many Nigerians in the UK are expressing fears of violence and a few have said they might consider coming back to Nigeria.”

“Our government must be very aggressive about this by using diplomatic leverage.”
