ALLEGED KILLING OF TOYIN SALAU IN THE US, DABIRI-EREWA CALLS FOR THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission has described the alleged murder of 19-year- old Nigerian-American Activist, Toyin Salau in the US as highly depressing and cruel.

She therefore urged the US government to conduct a thorough investigation on the circumstances leading to Miss Salau's death.

The NIDCOM boss condoled with the immediate family of Ms Salau who died while advocating against oppression and injustice.

Toyin Salau, a 19-year-old lady of Nigerian origin, was found dead days after she was declared missing in the city of  Tallahassee, Florida, the United States.

According to the Tallahassee Police Department, Toyin, who spoke at Black Lives Matters protests in the city, was last seen June 6 near Wahnish Way and Orange Avenue, Tallahassee.

Salau was declared missing hours after she tweeted she was sexually assaulted.

Toyin tweeted that a man molested her that morning around Park Avenue and Richview Road, Tallahassee, Florida.

She said the man offered to give her a ride back to a church where she had sought “refuge” because of “unjust living conditions.”

“He came disguised as a man of God and ended up picking me up from nearby Saxon Street,” she tweeted. “I trusted the holy spirit to keep me safe.”

According to reports, the Tallahassee Community Action Agency conducted a search party on Wednesday night, starting at Bethel AME Church.

The demonstrators searched for hours. They carried flashlights and asked for medics to join them in case she was hurt.

Salau on June 15, after a week of her abduction, was found dead.

Before her confirmed death, she was very passionate about government policies, fighting racism and other issues affecting the society.

am talking to the monkey called da(biri).

This st.upid Abike again. She will be occupied with happening outside the country and hardly react when it happens in her own country.

Someone was raped dead in Benin and Ibadan church, no reactions from her.

I pray justice is done in all cases but this woman hypocrisy is second to none. Very i.d.iotic.

Some m.o.rons are already defending her that she is only concerned with Abroad affairs forgetting that the whole world protested black lives matter even when George was killed in USA. This is not to talk of somebody's country where two ladies were raped dead.

Abike Dabiri is Special Adviser to the President on Diaspora Affairs. So, her business is happenings outside Nigeria. She has been fighting for your brothers that are on death roll in Asia prisons over drug trafficking.

you want to hear from my mouth that your mother is a red district worker?

abeg free meoo!

Did they kill her because she protested or they killed her because she tweeted about been sexually assaulted?

I know this happened in Almighty US but let me just say this:
Personally, I will never ever raise any placard to protest against anything. I like my life. May be when I'm tired of life, I can start looking at that direction. But for now, let other people go and protest.

If I feel like the injustice is too much, I'll just hustle and leave that space.

I really want to live long, like 90 years.

You hardly hear of protests in Nigeria that didn't take lives. It's like some people are paid to kill protesters in 9ja.

Just like a madman will think everyone is mad, likewise a bastard at the state of denial will think everyone is born of a runway irresponsible garage father and one philandering senseless mother, let me help you out brother in case you are thinking we are all the same, some of us have our fathers and mothers wedding pictures, not just names.

ok bro. sorry for your miserable life.

This woman is so tribalistic. Has she called for justice for Igbo women raped and killed by yorubas in the last few days? Has she said anything on the arrest of Hushpuppi like she spoke out against Invictus ? Afonjas and tribalism. You noticed they hid that thread of Yorubba calling for help to stop Igbos from taking over Oladipo. You know why? It doesn't fit their propaganda. SMH

When she was homeless did you come to Her rescue

meobizy:
From what I read in the other thread the woman is Nigerian only from her parents' travel documents. If anything she'll associate with African Americans as opposed to Nigerians since she was practically born and raised in the US. Wetin come concern we Africans again? Most of the Nigerians that way are indoors, leaving the heavy lifting of protesting to Akatas.

Abeg, wetin this guy dey talk?

Who fit inteprete for me?

Sad

These people only write when it's killings happening in other countries but they Ignore the killings going on in their own backyard. These people are so stupid and dumb

So sad...May her soul rest in peace..besides..where is her family?

The stupid UK won't take it up

May her soul rest well!

She is a tribalist.

ASAP

RIP to her

But where are her parents in all of these ?
It appears This young lad took too much in too short a time at that early age



Anyway come and buy kids Educational Tablets for your your children to help them stay ahead of their peers view my profile now

Who annoyed obiekunie this morning?
He is usually a taciturn guy.

As for Salau, RIP girl.
