The funeral service for Alexander Kareem held yesterday, June 29, at the Church of the Holy Ghost and St Stephen in Shepherd’s Bush, West London.

Present at the funeral were friends and family including his sister, Khafi Kareem.

Alexander, 20, was shot dead on his way from a convenience store on June 8th.

According to the Police, the incident that happened around 12:30am was a case of mistaken identity.

At the funeral service, Khafi made a heartfelt speech which left her and many in tears.

Speaking after his funeral, the ex BBNaija housemate said: “To anybody who’s seen this (in the news) and is thinking this is just another black boy who’s been shot by violence, I want to tell you that is not the case.

“Alex’s life mattered, he had a future ahead of him, he’s not just another black boy. He had a family, he had friends, this is real.”

“There are real lives that have been impacted, real people who are broken. There are so many people who have turned up today and we are here for justice,” she added.

“I am begging whoever knows anything please find it in your heart to come forward. I feel bad that we’ve had to bury Alex and his killers are still not found, can he really rest in peace when his killers are roaming around?”

Khafi continued;

“My mum named him after Alexander the Great, because, even though he’s the youngest, my mum always knew this is where greatness was going to come from in our family.

“He’s really funny and always energetic, he was just becoming a man, looking after himself and giving back to us as a family.

“And most importantly he was innocent, he had nothing to do with the horrid, horrible lifestyle that took him away, he had nothing to do with that.”
