A man who killed 18-year-old Meschak dos Santos Cornelio in Enfield on New Year’s Eve, 2017 has today (21 November) been found guilty of manslaughter.Gaille Bola, 22, of Stonebridge Road, N15 was found guilty of Meschak’s manslaughter at Blackfriars Crown Court by a unanimous jury verdict.
The court heard how police were called by London Ambulance Service (LAS) at around 11:30hrs on Sunday, 31 December to an address in Larmans Road, Enfield to reports of a male stabbed.
Meschak was found injured and treated by LAS at the scene before being airlifted to an east London hospital – despite medical treatment he died at 20:28hrs.
When officers attended the scene they found Class A drugs and equipment often used with the cutting and bagging of drugs.
Intelligence also suggested that the victim had been running county lines for Bola, but had decided to set up his own line, which caused friction between the two men.
A witness who was in the property at the time of the arrest told officers that shortly before 11:30hrs, Meschak and a friend were present in the flat cutting and bagging drugs, when three suspects entered the address demanding the ‘drugs line’ phone from Meschak.
Meschak knew the males as he voluntarily buzzed them up via the flat intercom. An attack ensued resulting in him being punched in the head and stabbed in the chest. The suspects made off with the drugs phone, plus other phones, cash and drugs.
The witness recognised the ‘leader’ of this trio of suspects, and the male who punched the victim, to be the main drug dealer in the area named “G” (Gaille Bola).
Bola handed himself into police at Wood Green Police Station at 18:00hrs on Monday, 8 January.
He was charged on Tuesday, 9 January and appeared in custody at Highbury Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 10 January.
He was found not guilty of murder after a trial at the Old Bailey in July this year, but the jury could not reach a verdict on manslaughter. He was found guilty today, after re-trial, at Blackfriars Crown Court.

The Alaafin’s throne is not to be rubbished. Don’t play with me – Late Alaafin of Oyo’s daughter drags Queen Dami, exposes her over paternity of her child

Adeyemi Adebisi Aminat, the daughter of the late Alaafin of Oyo State, has dragged his ex-wife, Queen Dami over her social media shenanigans

In a series of posts on her Instagram story, she pointed out the irony of how Dami was shaming someone over paternity of their child, yet, doesn’t know the father of her child. She claimed the former Queen bought the child from Port Harcourt.

Adebisi stated that the fact that this palace isn’t talking doesn’t mean they don’t know what to say.

She further stated that the Alaafin’s throne is not to be rubbished as she admonished Dami not to play with her.

Adebisi revealed that she had all the blood tests and evidence before the King passed away.

Dammy you are insulting someone that they don’t know the father of their child. Do you know the father of your own child? The child you went to buy in Port Harcourt.

The fact that we are not talking doesn’t mean we don’t know what to say.

The Alaafin’s throne is not to be rubbished. Don’t play with me. I have all the blood tests and evidence before the king passed away. Go and give the child to the rightful owner”

Recall that Queen Dami was married to the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyeye but the marriage crashed after she allegedly broke a palace rule, an act that prompted her to leave her marriage and run away from the palace.

She later blamed the whole act on frustration and wrong advice from friends. Unfortunately, her relationship with the monarch was never repaired before his demise last year.

Following the death of the King, Dami publicly moved on with Portable, who confirmed their relationship in an interview in 2023.

Portable stated that Queen Dami was only a fan before the death of her husband, the King, but things switched up from there as he wasn’t one to have an affair with people’s wives.

Dami later went public with their affair o Valentine’s Day. She shared an adorable message for Portable, on her Instagram, as she excitedly expressed that Portable was her man, while also stating that he had her whole heart.
