One of Woolwich killers identified as Nigerian Michael Adebolajo

One of the Woolwich killers has been identified as a Nigerian British-born Muslim convert Michael ''Mujahid'' Adebolajo (Left), whose father has been identified as 56 year old Nigerian trained nurse named Anthony Adebolajo.

The attack on the soldier, following which Adebolajo talked of an “eye for an eye” as his hands dripped with blood, came seemingly from nowhere, but The Telegraph has established that the killer had in fact been well known to the police and MI5 for years. Far from being a so-called “cleanskin”, Adebolajo was a known extremist with an open MI5 file who was in plain sight all along.

The victim,had reportedly been on duty at an Army recruitment office in central London and was on his way back to the barracks when he was murdered at 2.20pm.

A Daily Mail article suggests that there's now a high threat of terrorism from Nigeria. Read it below...

Sources today named one of the suspects as Michael Adebolajo (pictured left) who, along with his fellow alleged killer (pictured right), is a British citizen who converted to a radical form of Islam.

They are not thought to have links to terror groups based in Nigeria, such as the jihadist militant organisation Boko Haram. The Foreign Office warns of a high threat from terrorism in the West African nation and raises the prospect of a risk of retaliatory attacks following the French intervention in Mali.

The other killer (Right) may also be Nigerian though he has not been formally identified.
