«Breaking News» Mother is found GUILTY of luring film maker into trap before gang ambushed him

Three robbers who left a young filmmaker in a coma after squirting ammonia down his throat are facing years behind bars.

Courtney Raymond, 20, and Jordan Dubois, 21, were attacked as they went to a flat in Argyle Road, Ilford, east London, to make a video for a song called 'Creepy'.

Makayla Hajaig, 19, greeted them outside on 13 June and said her sister, a singer called 'Stafia', was inside putting on her make-up, jurors heard.

'Stafia exists but has no involvement in this case,' said Nathan Rasiah, prosecuting. 'Her identity was used for the purpose of setting up the ambush.'

Makayla Hajaig has been found to have been part of an attack in which victims were doused in ammonia

Hajaig led them inside and they were attacked by Adam Badejo, 30, William Deo, 20, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told.

Mr Raymond was knocked to the floor and a third man, wearing a balaclava, poured ammonia down his throat.

Mr Raymond and Mr Dubois were told to hand over their bags containing cameras and lighting equipment worth over £2,000.

Hajaig, Badejo and Deo were convicted of two charges of throwing a corrosive substance, two of robbery, one of causing grievous bodily harm and one of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Deo shook his head in disbelief as the verdicts were announced while mother-of-one Hajaig fought back tears.

Remanding them in custody ahead of sentence on 17 December, Judge Oscar Del Fabbro said: 'You are facing lengthy terms of imprisonment and I must decide the appropriate sentence.

'Each of you must recognise that you have been convicted of very grave offences.'

Mr Rasiah earlier told jurors how Hajaig used an Instagram account to contact Mr Raymond on 11 May.

Mr Raymond and Mr Dubois were later sent a song by email with the subject 'Creepy MP3'.'

'On 13 June the defendants arrived at Argyle Road together. The men went into the property and laid in wait.

'Courtney Raymond and Jordan Dubois arrived at the scene and were met by a young woman. She told them it was her sister who contacted them, and she was upstairs getting her make-up done.

'The three of them went into the property together with Jordan Dubois carrying his equipment in an Adidas rucksack.

'Makayla Hajaig led them in saying the flat belonged to her sister's family.

Adam Badejo was also convicted over the attack

'Mr Raymond recalls two or three men running at them from upstairs and a large figure with a balaclava coming towards him with a bottle,' said Mr Rasiah.

'They both recall him squirting a liquid in their faces. Mr Raymond believed it was acid, but it was in fact ammonia.'

'Mr Raymond was punched in the stomach his knees gave way, but he was forced to get up and open his mouth,' said the prosecutor.

'One of the figures poured the liquid down his throat and it started to burn.'

Mr Raymond and Mr Dubois managed to get away and staggered to the home of neighbour Damien Butler who began pouring water over their faces.

Giving evidence Mr Raymond told the court: 'It was very dark when we went inside the door, it was pitch black.

'We were waiting for probably 30 seconds when I suddenly heard a bunch of people running downstairs.

'I didn't know what was happening, I couldn't see nothing - just three figures in balaclavas.

'My sight was impaired by ammonia, they came down the stairs straight for us.

'They had a bottle and squirted it straight in my eye, in my right eye and in my left eye, it was just everywhere.

'I felt pain. It was all over my face, my lips, everywhere. It was burning me.

'Then they assaulted me; punched me in the face and the stomach.

'They dragged me up and told me to open my mouth. I tried not to but they forced it open.

'They poured ammonia in my mouth and it went down my throat.

'I was scared. I am still traumatised.'

Mr Raymond said he felt in 'danger' as soon as he arrived because Hajaig was acting strangely.

'She said she was her [Stafia's] sister and she was upstairs doing her makeup.

'She was asking a lot of questions about us and it all seemed a bit weird to me.

'I felt maybe we were in danger - it was unusual.'

Mr Raymond was was sedated and placed in a medically induced coma and remained in intensive care for some 13 days after the attack, the court heard.

Hajaig, who claimed she was victim of a acid attack in March this year, told the jury she thought it was a genuine music video.

She said: 'I really believed it was a music video. I would not have gone there if I knew that was going to happen because of the experience I have had.

'I had no idea this incident was going to happen. The fact that I have been in that position myself and I know what it is like I would never want to do that to someone else.

'It is hard for me to talk about it so why would I want to be in the building where I could not breathe.

'I did not see them come directly out of the cupboard, but I saw them come from that area.

'Where I was standing on the stairs I could not see that part of the hall because it was kind of a blind spot.

'I saw loads of hands, then a smell hit me and as soon as I smelt it, I knew what it was.

'I could see it kind of rise through the carpets or whatever, that is when I started backing up.

'I could not speak because of reaction of my throat. I was trying to put my mouth into my coat.

'By this time, I saw William back up onto the stairs. I saw Adam run past him and try to breath out of the window.

'I have seen the door open, I did not see anything but shouting going on. By this time, I could not breath properly.

'I got out and as soon as I hit fresh air I had to get as much of it in as possible. My eyes were watering, I was just trying to breathe at that time.'

Badejo, of Dagenham, Deo of Archway, north London, and Hajaig of Dagenham, all denied two charges of throwing a corrosive substance, two charges of robbery, one charge of causing grievous bodily harm and one of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Hajaig alone denied a further charge of assisting an offender.

Sergeant Matt Taylor, from the Met's East Area Command Unit, said: 'This was a sickening attack which left both young victims with serious injuries and is something that will stay with them for a long time.

'I would like to commend the bravery of both men who had to relive their experience when giving evidence in court, as well as the investigating officers who worked tirelessly to bring these offenders to justice.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
