Gangster charged with Naramata killing faces more charges while in prison

A BC gangster charged with the murder of Naramata woman, is facing a new charge for assaulting a prison officer while in custody in Oliver.

It’s not known what precisely took place, but Ekene Dillichuwu Anigbo was charged with assaulting a peace officer causing bodily harm for an incident which took place Sept. 12, and is assumed be at the Oliver Correctional Centre.

Anigbo’s name made headlines in 2021 when Vancouver Police featured him on a warning poster about a provincial wide conflict involving six gangsters.

Also known by his rapper name Lolo Lanski, Anigbo was charged along with Jalen Falk for the 2021 murder of 57-year-old Naramata resident Kathleen Richardson, whose body was found in her home in June that year. He would have been 21 years old at the time.

Richardson was the mother of Wade Cudmore, who was later convicted of killing Kamloops brothers Carlo and Erick Fryer a month before his mother was murdered.

Cudmore was sentenced to life in prison with no change of parole for 18 years. His co-accused Anthony Graham is still on the run.

In 2022, Anigbo, born 1999, was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail for possessing of a prohibited weapon while being on a lifetime firearms ban.

Since he’s been in custody he’s also racked up more charges.

He currently has charges for carrying a concealed weapon, assault with a weapon, and assault causing bodily harm from an incident that took place in March 2024, while in custody in Ontario.

A month later following another violence incident he was charged with aggravated assault, carrying a concealed weapon and assault with a weapon.

These charges are still ticking throught the Ontario court system.

A Parole Board of Canada decision from May said his behaviour while in prison has been “extremely poor.”

“It has involved incidents of violence and threats; being in possession of contraband including an improvised weapon; being in possession of unauthorized items like a cell phone and drugs; and your behaviour has frequently required significant management intervention including disciplinary charges and multiple transfers to multiple Structured Interventions Units at various institutions,” the Parole Board decision read.

Prisoners are put in Structured Interventions Units if they cannot be maintained in the general prison population.

In May, Anigbo was denied parole with the Board saying if he was released he was likely to commit an offence causing death or serious harm to another person.

His trial for the murder of Kathleen Richardson is scheduled to go in front of jury next March and is anticipated to last for four months.
