Man who killed RCCG pastor’s son in Canada bar, charged with 2nd-degree murder .

Joe Bryan Ndikuriyo, 27, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of a 21-year-old Solomon Odekunle, an economics student from the University of Ottawa. Solomon was stabbed to death at around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, November 6.
In addition to the murder charge, Ndikuriyo, Burundian, was charged with the attempted murder of another person, a friend of Solomon. Solomon, was the 17th victim of homicide in Ottawa since the beginning of 2016.
News reports suggest that he was stabbed during a fight between Ndikuriyo and another individual over a woman. Solomon, whose father is a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, was admitted to the University of Ottawa in 2012.
Saturday PUNCH visited his parents’ house at the Rotimi Williams Estate, Fagba Estate, Lagos, on Thursday, a fenced mansion, where a domestic employee explained that Solomon’s father had travelled while the inconsolable mother had relocated temporarily from the house.
It was later learnt that the father had flown out to Canada after learning of the incident. Solomon’s sister, Deborah, who is also studying in Canada, shared heart-breaking words on Twitter that corroborated words of Solomon’s friends, who described him as a meek and funny young man.
According to her, she saw him last a week before the incident. She said, “If I did know it would be your last, I would have given you more than a fist bump. I would have gotten down on my knees and give you the deepest bro-hug.
If I did know it would be your last, I would have pleaded with the drama leader to allow the rehearsal to linger a little so you and Peter could make us giggle a little more with some frog jump.
If I did know it would be your last, I would have treasured those great words you shared with me a couple of months ago in the technical department, have them handwritten with the best calligraphic pens, framed and given to you right after doing those frog jumps."
