Urinate and Die: Nigerian Man Killed For Urinating In Street of US

Surveillance video showed Olabode begging to be spared, but Poole “executed” him anyway, prosecutors said.

Rasheed “O.J.” Olabode, a 27-year-old Nigerian photographer has been reportedly killed in New Jersey by a gangbanger,Christopher Poole for urinating in his street.  .

According to reports, Christopher Poole “executed” Rasheed “O.J.” Olabode, by shooting him in the heart as he begged for mercy on the street of Newark, US. Christopher had seen Olabode easing himself behind a car in Newark in April 2018 so he confronted him.

Surveillance video showed Olabode begging to be spared, but Poole “executed” him anyway, prosecutors said.

“The only error that appears the victim made was going to ‘Pee’ in front of the wrong person,”

The prosecutor Jason Goldberg told Superior Court of Essex County, as reported by NJ.com said…

“And that simple, simple act — something that every single person does, every single day — was enough in the eyes of Mr Poole to kill a man, shoot him in the heart as he prayed and tried talking his way out of it.”

Mr Poole has a history of crime starting from when he was just 15, the site says. He has been sentenced to life in prison for killing Nigerian man who was urinating in his street.

While in court, superior Court Judge Ronald Wigler noted his “utter lack of remorse” for the execution right in front of two of the victim’s friends who were present at the crime scene.

Judge Wigler, with a decade of service as Superior Court judge said…

“This was certainly one of the most — if not the most — senseless murder cases that I have presided over and been involved with.”

On Tuesday, February 4, the killer, Poole, was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder. He was also sentenced to 10 years in prison for one weapons offense that will run concurrently.

From the sentence given, he must serve at least 63 years before he is eligible for parole under the state’s No Early Release Act. One of Poole’s two sisters cried and fled the court when he was sentenced.

Olabode was originally from Nigeria. His family could not afford to make it to New Jersey for the sentencing, the court heard.

Nigerians Have a ‘Pee Problem’ For Sure…

It’s not uncommon to see men taking a pee by the roadside in any Nigerian city or town. In a country where sanitation effort is at its barest minimum, and a regard for the environment is non-existent, this attitude is hardly surprising and is quickly becoming the norm. You can guess correctly that any man standing with his back to the street is most likely taking a pee in the dirty, flowing gutters that line the sidewalk.

In Northern Nigeria, men will typically squat next to gutters to pee, almost like women usually do. But the men in Lagos are a lot special, they like to show you their “Male Stuff”-big ones, small ones, so tiny you imagined them. Whether you want to or not, they’re always out there on the streets in full, unrestrained glare. On any occasion, seeing unsolicited genitals, whether in pictures or real life tend to have a jarring effect on the mind.

While there is no direct law against public urination in Nigeria or in Lagos (Lagos State Parks and Gardens Law only addresses urination in parks), you’ll see several ‘DO NOT URINATE’ signs painted on walls in public places, warning and sometimes threatening men thinking of emptying their bladders anywhere they deem fit.

Unfortunately, these signs are often nothing more than an exercise in futility, because the walls are more often than not covered in pee, the watermarks and filth tracing their lengths evidence of the total disregard Nigerian men have for law and order.
