The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, has vowed to investigate the gruesome murder of a Nigerian student in the Philippines, who is simply identified as Ikem.
The deceased was allegedly murdered by some Chinese citizens.
In a statement signed by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, head of the media, public relations, and protocols unit of the commission, however, said the incident was yet-to-be reported to the Nigerian embassy in the Philippines.
“The attention of Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM has been drawn to a viral social media news item on the death of a Nigerian student, identified as Ikem, who was allegedly murdered by a group of Chinese in the Republic of Philippines.
“Though the matter had not been officially reported to the Nigerian embassy in the Philippines, NIDCOM has asked the “ eyewitness “ who posted the gory incident on his social media handle to provide more details to the Commission’s e-mail — admin@nidcom.gov.ng
“The Commission will set the machinery in motion to investigate the matter and unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident,” the statement read.
