Abike Dabiri and Nigerians in Diaspora Commission have reacted to the death of a Nigerian man, George Nkencho, who was reportedly killed by the police in Ireland.

Here is a press statement by Nigerians in Diaspora Commission addressing the killing of George Nkencho.

PRESS STATEMENT

DABIRI-EREWA DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR NIGERIAN KILLED IN IRELAND.

Abuja, December 31, 2020:
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman /CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission has condemned in strong terms the killing of Mr George Nkencho, a 27- year old Nigerian in Ireland.

In a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NIDCOM Head of Media, described the death of a young Nigerian by a Police officer as callous and wicked.

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 to learn about the callous shooting dead of George Nkencho on Wednesday December 30.

The group said the circumstances surrounding the killing of a mentally challenged youngman has enraged the African community and demanded a full independent public inquiry.

Happy new year everyone.

What about the ones killed in Nigeria every day?

This Afonja lady doesn't have Conscience

You never put out a statement to condemn the brutal crime police Officers commit on a daily

Charity begins at home

Meanwhile RIP bro ... BUHARI did this to you bro and it shall never be well with him IJN



I HOPE I MADE SENSE

BLACK LIFE MATTERS?

Meanwhile Nigerians killed in Nigeria got no justice. It was bad he was killed but the Nigeria government that uses her security officers to kill unarmed protesters in lekki and other brutalities should first give the death justice before crying for justice in another country.

He must have struggled with them like how black people love to do.

After they kneel down and shout black lives matter after destruction.

F

Hope he's not a drug dealer "as usual"

Police can't just come and kill you, there must be something to it. It's either you're in possesion of fire arm, drug dealer, involved in illegal activities etc

Most of the blacks being killed aren't innocent, why must u resist arrest when your hands are clean

Most blacks being killed as a result of police brutality aren't innocent

After they got served for their atrocities, Dem go dey shout BLACK LIVES MATTER up and down ... BLM my black balls

RIP tho

Na Twitter e dey end...
Dozens of people are being killed here under your watch, the government watch by the military men and nothing was done to secure justice for the deceased. The same useless government wants justice for a Nigerian that was killed in diaspora. What a fiasco!
