Alika’s Murder in Italy: Federal Government Gives Update
The suspect killer of Ogochukwu Alika, a physically-challenged Nigerian, who was allegedly beaten to death by an Italian, has been arrested.
The suspect, arrested by the Italian police is expected to be charged to court.
The chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, made this known while giving an update on the case.
She added that the Italian police were working and cooperating with the Nigerian mission in Italy to ensure justice was done and the culprit faced the consequences he deserved.
She stated that the Nigerian mission was requesting that the Italian government provided Mrs. Alika, the widow, a good job to cater for the rest of the family, being the family’s bread winner, after the death of her husband.
Dabiri-Erewa seized the chance to thank the Nigerian community in Italy, various organisations and individuals in Italy who had supported and raise funds for the late Alika’s family since his death.
Meanwhile, the NiDCOM boss has equally given an update on the gruesome murder of two young Nigerians, Tosin Amos Arowoshegbe, and Chibueze Momah, who were shot dead at a Canadian nightclub, while working as guards.
The NiDCOM chairman said that Canadian authorities had identified a suspect and were working to get to the cause of the unfortunate incident
