He had also told his girlfriend that Adebolajo was a “legend” for killing Rigby.
The court was told that Ziamani was radicalised after being befriended by members of a radical Muslim organisation which held meetings in London.
The court also heard how Ziamani had “reverted” to Islam only last year and was kicked out of home in Camberwell, south London, by his parents. Ziamani was born in London to a Congolese mother who worked as a nurse and a father who is a psychiatric nurse.
