Marcus Adepoju, 31, of Claremont Street, Edmonton, has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for his involvement in a violent incident related to a mere £3.50 drugs debt. The sentence was handed down at Woolwich Crown Court on Friday, April 12, following Adepoju’s conviction for multiple firearms and drug offences.
The incident in question took place in April 2023 at a residence on Nelgarde Road, Catford, Lewisham. Police were called to the scene after a masked assailant fired three shots through a window, targeting a man inside. Fortunately, the victim suffered only superficial wounds from glass shards, but the property sustained extensive damage.
