The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has condemned the killing of a Nigerian national, Emeka Christian, in Pune, India, describing the incident as tragic and senseless.
According to the Commission, Emeka Christian was allegedly beaten to death following a romantic dispute involving two fellow Nigerians identified as Chukwudi Okafor (31) and Samuel Eze.
In a statement, the Chairman of NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, expressed deep condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased, saying the Commission shares in their grief.
NiDCOM called on relevant Indian authorities to carry out a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident, urging that justice be served promptly and without prejudice.
