It has been revealed that the stepdad of the London attacker, Khalid Masood, is of Nigerian origin. According to The SUN, the man, Khaleed, was born as Adrian Russel, but later adopted his mother’s husband’s surname, Ajao.
The mother of the killer, Janet Ajao, spends her time listening to classical music with her husband, 77-year-old Philip Ajao, tending to her chickens and working on her crafts.
Masood killed 5 people including a police officer after an attack on Westminster. The 52-year-old had previous convictions for assaults, possession of offensive weapons and public order offences.
The body-building enthusiast was born in Dartford in Kent on Christmas Day 1964. His mother gave birth when she was just 17 years old.
The married father-of-three spent years moving round the country – and the prison system. He had a history of violent knife crime and converted to Islam in prison, after years of criminality.
