Daniel Anjorin: Arsenal pays tribute to British-Nigerian killed in London attack

Arsenal has paid tribute to 14-year-old fan, Daniel Anjorin, who was murdered in a samurai sword attack earlier this week.<br />

Arsenal Football Club has paid tribute to a 14-year-old British-Nigerian Daniel Anjorin, a devoted fan who was killed in a sword attack on his way to school on Tuesday.

Anjorin, a student at Bancroft’s School, was described as a “true scholar” with a “positive nature and gentle character” by the school in a statement.

“He was a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits. His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us,” Bancroft School said.

The deceased was reportedly a die-hard Arsenal fan, and the club honoured him during their Premier League match against Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Emirates Stadium paused for applause in the 14th minute of the game, with permission from Anjorin’s family.

Fans also held a banner reading “RIP Daniel” in a moving display of respect.

London’s Metropolitan Police have charged Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, a Spanish-Brazilian national, with Anjorin’s murder, along with attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary, and possession of a bladed article.

The attack, which police said is not terror-related, also left two police officers and two other bystanders injured.

He was accused of attacking a 35-year-old man inside a nearby property, causing lacerations on his arm, before killing Anjorin.

Police arrived on the scene 12 minutes after the initial emergency call and attempted to neutralise the suspect with incapacitant spray and a Taser gun, but they had little effect.
