A 38-year-old Nigerian man, Bolanle Fadairo was arrested by police in Houston, for allegedly killing his fellow Nigerian and friend of over 30 years, Michael Essien, and leaving the victim’s two-year-old son, Micah, to die in a hot car in the Gulfton area of southwest Houston.
On Tuesday, September 20, Tuesday, Fadairo is accused of shooting 38-year-old Essien to death after an argument outside a strip center in the 5500 block of El Camino Del Rey and Chimney Rock.
Investigators say Fadairo admitted that he had known Essien for about 30 years, and even used the victim’s home address to receive mail.
Court statement rea, “(Fadairo) stated the argument started from (Essien) owing him money”.
The police say on the day of the shooting, Fadairo met with Essien, before an argument ensued between both men which led to Fadairo shooting Essien and fleeing the crime scene while the deceased’s 2-year-old son was still in a car seat in his father’s car.
After five hours later, the victim’s wife called the police to report her husband and son were missing. The woman was able to provide information about her husband’s vehicle which led to its discovery roughly 1 mile away from the site of the incident.
Essien’s sister, Jessie Okon, shared two other children with his wife, a 5-year-old son and a 1-week-old baby.
Jessie said, “Michael never argued with anybody. Michael would take his shirt off and give to others. He gives his last dime to other people. All I need is my brother”.
