Tailor, who is a popular influencer with over 2 million followers on Instagram, was said to have stabbed the Nigerian to death one week before his 28th birthday.

Confirming the development, an elder brother of the victim, Jeff, has taken to his Instagram page to announce and mourn the brutal murder of Toby.
Jeff wrote, “I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this. It is with the heaviest heart I announce the murder of my younger brother, Christian (Toby) who was brutally killed on Sunday, a week from his 28th birthday — I’m truly at a loss for words. He didn’t deserve this.
“This is a lot to process. Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Your support is truly felt and appreciated during this devastating time. I ask the community to please pray for me and my family. Pray for strength for the long road ahead to justice.”

the bad guy. We’re speaking on this because my boyfriend and I were closest to them in friendship and after talking to their family it seems as though they were in the dark about how toxic their relationship was and all the abuse that happened leading up to this.
