Solo[]
Gabriel Adeka was a Zanzari lawyer of the Fakassa tribe when Civil War broke out between the Lowele tribe dominated government in the North, and the Fakassa in the south over oil reserves found beneath Fakassa lands. While Gabriel understood the Fakassa sentiment, he did not believe that secession was the way to deal with the issue, which lead to his falling out with his younger brother Solomon Adeka, who considered him a traitor.
In order to help relieve the thousands of starving people caught in the civil war, Gabriel left his job as a lawyer to start the charity AfricaKIN. He was visited in his Bayswater headquarters by James Bond, an alleged journalist trying to get an audience with Solomon. Gabriel told him that he could not help him, and went about his business until it was discovered that he was the rightful ruler of the Fakassa people, and thus his signature was required to get rights to the oil.
For this reason, Gabriel was killed and buried under a newly poured concrete floor in his Bayswater office to give the rights to Solomon.
