Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has called for a full, thorough and fair investigation into the killing of Mr George Nkencho, a 27- year old Nigerian in Ireland.
A press statement signed on Thursday by Head, Media and Public Relations, NIDCOM, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, said the
Chairman /CEO of the Commission. Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa condemned in strong terms the killing of Mr George Nkencho.
The killing by a suspected police officer of the young Nigerian was described by Dabiri-Erewa as callous and wicked.
The statement said Dabiri-Erewa, who was apparently disturbed by the killing, called for a full, thorough and fair investigation into the matter.
She appealed to the obviously-enraged Nigerian community in Ireland to exercise patience and await the outcome of investigation into the unfortunate incident.
The NIDCOM boss condoled with the family of Nkencho and the Nigerian community in Ireland over the killing of George and prayed God to give the family and friends the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
Already, the African Advocacy Network Ireland ( AANI) has expressed shock over the callous shooting of George Nkencho on Wednesday, December 30.
The group said the circumstances surrounding the killing of a mentally-challenged youngman had enraged the African community and demanded a full independent public inquiry.
