A rapper shot dead outside a Telford gym in an alleged “revenge attack” more than five years ago had 49 wraps of cocaine up his rectum when he was killed, a court has heard.
Tamba Momodu was gunned down outside The Fitness Factory at Bridges Business Park in Horsehay, Telford on October 13, 2020.
A trial at Leicester Crown Court heard over the last four weeks how Mr Momodu, also known as rapper Teerose, was killed in a "revenge attack" that had been planned with "military precision" after being acquitted on the grounds of self-defence for the murder of Abdullahi Tarabi in Northolt, London in 2017 - brother and cousin to two of the defendants.
Mahamud Tarabi, 33, of Whiteleys Parade, Uxbridge, his cousin Ahmed Karshe, 31, of no fixed abode, as well as Deria Hassan, 33, of Greenford, London, and Merje Ngoy, 25, of no fixed abode, all deny murder.
