Robert aka Fox, was a music manager, known for managing popular UK Rapper Dutchavelli. Oppong, resorting to hiding in the back of a lorry as he crossed the Moroccan border from Spain, was finally apprehended in September 2022 and brought back to the UK in June 2023.

The hunt for Adeyinka continued until May 2024 when, during Oppong and Shah’s trial, he was finally tracked down in Spain and brought back to Essex to face justice. He stood trial in November 2025 and was cleared of murder and possession of a firearm, but convicted of manslaughter for his role in the plot. Adeyinka was jailed for 19 years.
