He was attacked just before midnight but was not found for eight hours.
His mother Bola told BBC London a part of her died with him - and that she "knows the real meaning of having a broken heart".
Emmanuel was the oldest of Mrs Ogabi's three sons

"He was such a family person and he died alone."

Mrs Ogabi, said her son would "always, always" send her a message before he went to bed to say he loved her.
She believes someone must have valuable information.
"Someone killed him, and they are still walking around out there, and they'll do it again, because they are thinking they got away with it," she said.
