Teen Who Stabbed Man 12 Times in Deptford Fled to Nigeria
A teenager who brutally stabbed a young man 12 times on a street in Deptford, south-east London, attempted to escape justice by fleeing to Nigeria, before eventually being caught and jailed for life.
The attacker, 19-year-old Jackson Uwagboe, was convicted of murdering 21-year-old Robert Robinson in what prosecutors described as a “brutal and sustained” knife attack. The killing happened on 6 June 2024 on Carteret Way in Deptford, after a dispute linked to a stolen bicycle escalated into deadly violence.
Dispute Turned Deadly
According to evidence presented at the Old Bailey, the conflict began earlier that day when Uwagboe robbed a 17-year-old boy of his bicycle and phone on Deptford High Street. A group including Robinson later went to a friend’s home connected to Uwagboe to try to retrieve the bike.
After tensions escalated, Uwagboe and two associates armed themselves with machetes and confronted Robinson’s group in the street. During the attack, Robinson was stabbed at least 12 times, suffering defensive wounds as he attempted to protect himself. Paramedics were called but he died at the scene.
Attempted Escape to Nigeria
In the aftermath of the killing, Uwagboe attempted to flee the UK. An accomplice purchased a £1,100 plane ticket to Lagos, Nigeria, and drove him to Heathrow Airport in a bid to help him escape prosecution.
However, the escape only delayed the investigation. After months abroad, Uwagboe was arrested at Gatwick Airport in February 2025 when he returned to Britain. Detectives had built a strong case using CCTV footage, phone records, bank data and DNA evidence linking the suspects to the murder.
Life Sentence
In February 2026, Uwagboe was sentenced at the Old Bailey to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 21 years before he can be considered for parole.
Two other teenagers involved in the attack also received life sentences for their roles in the murder, while the man who helped arrange the flight to Nigeria was convicted of perverting the course of justice.
Police Statement
Detectives described the attack as a savage act of violence carried out by a group armed with knives. They praised the extensive investigation that ensured those responsible were eventually brought to justice despite attempts to flee the country.
The case has once again highlighted the ongoing problem of knife crime in London, particularly among young offenders.
