A West London man who incited racial hatred with inflammatory messages encouraging violence in Nigeria has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.
Adeyinka Shoyemi, forty-five years, of Powis Terrace in Notting Hill, first came to the attention of counter-terror police in March 2019, after members of the public informed them about the posts targeting particular ethnic groups in Nigeria.
They found that the posts, which had commentary encouraging attacks against certain ethnic groups, were in potential breach of the law and launched a probe.
He was first arrested at his home and charged with six counts of inciting racial hatred and was later released on bail with a condition not to post any more social media posts which were threatening, abusive, or insulting to any ethnic groups.
But he was later rearrested after he flouted his bail conditions to make more of the posts and was found guilty.
