A 27 years old Nigerian Born naturalised United States citizen, Christian Tobechukwu, ‘Toby’ Obumseli, has been stabbed multiple times to Death in Florida, abandoned in cold blood.
The Nigerian Standard newspaper reports that grieving family blames rich white girlfriend, Courtney Clenney, alias ‘Courtney Tailor’ name on Instagram.
“We are demanding justice for the death of our son, Christian Obumseli. Police had declined to charge his Instagram model girlfriend due to ‘white privilege’, not her claim of self-defense in a domestic violence,
which resulted in fatality”, Family of deceased said.
The US based Newspaper said that Courtney is yet to explain exactly what happened leading up to Toby’s murder.
The bottom line is inextricably clear,
“Courtney is being treated differently because of her privilege as a wealthy White woman. Within 24 hours following Toby’s death, the
detective on the case prematurely concluded this was not a crime of violence”, Jeffrey Obumseli, the slain man’s brother, writes on Instagram.
“Justice in this case demands that Courtney does not face any charges. Courtney was not arrested because it is clear she was defending herself as the victim of domestic violence”, Defense counsel, Frank Prieto noted.
“Preliminary investigation determined that both Mr. Obumseli and the female, Clenney, had been involved in a physical altercation. Clenney
was taken to a hospital under the Baker Act for a mental health evaluation after the incident.
Under the law, details about such hospitalizations are confidential”-Law enforcement official in Florida stated.
