Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of a 20-year-old Nigerian student, Khaleed Oladipo, who was fatally stabbed in Leicester, UK.
Blueprint reports that Khaleed Oladipo, a second-year Cybersecurity student at De Montfort University, was reportedly attacked while on his way home to watch a football match.
His family has described him as an extremely loved son and family member whose life was cut short far too soon.
A press statement by NiDCOM Head Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, in Abuja, said Dabiri-Erewa described the incident as heartbreaking and a painful loss to both the Oladipo family and the Nigerian community at home and in the Diaspora.
Balgun said she also called on UK authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and justice for the deceased, while reiterating NiDCOM’s commitment to the welfare and protection of Nigerians in the Diaspora community.
