So sad. Looking at Femi Nandap, you’d never guess he was a killer. White privilege/white racism probably sent him over the edge.

A catalogue of missed opportunities from the authorities allowed a mentally ill man to stab a much-loved academic on his way to post cards.
Femi Nandap, 23, has pleaded guilty to knifing Dr Jeroen Ensink, 41, who suffered catastrophic injuries after he was repeatedly stabbed in the back outside his Islington home on December 29 last year.
Today, it emerged the academic’s killer was caught with two kitchen knives after assaulting a policeman but the case was dropped because the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claimed they did not have enough evidence to prosecute him.
Nandap, of Woolwich, south east London, was arrested in May last year and charged with wielding knives in public and assaulting a police officer.
He later flew back to Nigeria in June for three months, missing his bail appointment in August.
He finally appeared in court in October, but was granted bail by magistrates – despite objections from the prosecutor.
