Renowned Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Alibaba, has voiced relief after discovering the accused shooter of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was neither Black nor Arab.
Alibaba remarked that while the attack on Kirk was tragic, the situation could have escalated dramatically if the assailant had been from a marginalized racial group.
He admitted feeling an overwhelming sense of relief upon learning the suspect’s identity, emphasizing the broader implications had the attacker been non-white.
The individual linked to the shooting has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old Utah resident from a staunchly conservative, pro-gun household. Notably, he once dressed as Donald Trump for Halloween.
Robinson’s parents—Amber Denise Robinson and Matthew Carl Robinson—are both registered Republicans, mirroring Kirk’s political leanings.
Despite being listed as an inactive nonpartisan voter in Utah, Robinson reportedly grew increasingly political in recent years. Family sources reveal he once condemned Kirk during a dinner conversation, accusing him of peddling hate.
After earning a substantial scholarship, Robinson briefly attended Utah State University in 2021 but withdrew after just one semester.
Academically gifted, he achieved an impressive ACT score of 34, placing him among the highest percentile of test-takers.
