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.
He was said to have been murdered by some Chinese citizens.
NiDCOM in a statement signed by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, head of the media, public relations, and protocols unit, however, said that the incident was yet to be reported to the Nigerian embassy in the Philippines.
The three-paragraph statement reads: “The attention of Nigerians in 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, “The Commission will set the machinery in motion to investigate the matter and unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
