Nigerian Govt Laments On The Killings Of Nigerian Youths In UK
The Federal Government on Monday expressed worry over increasing spate of
killing of Nigerians in UK in recent time.
In a statement on Monday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President
on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, she expressed
government’s position on the matter. .
The statement signed by her Media Aide, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, stated that
Dabiri-Erewa advised Nigerians to be careful and exercise restraint.
The presidential aide was quoted as saying “the increased killing of
blacks, especially those of Nigerian origin in London was worrisome and
disturbing.”
“It is reported that more than 50 blacks, mainly youths, were either
stabbed or gunned down in the first quarter of 2018 in London alone.
“Nigerian boys killed in the UK in the first quarter of 2018, mainly
London, included Oluwadamilola Odeyingbo, 18, Taofeek Lamidi, 20, and Harry
Uzoka, 25.
“Others were Rotimi Oshinbajo, 26, Fola Odubiyi, 18, Niyi Shode, 24,
Kelvin Odunuyi, 19, Abraham Badru, 26, Israel Ogunsola, 18, and more unreported
cases.”
Dabiri-Erewa had last week written protest letter to the British High
Commissioner in Nigeria, demanding justice and investigation into the matter.
She, however, advised Nigerians to continue to be good ambassadors of
Nigeria by obeying the rules of their host country and not to take laws into
their hands.
She condoled with the affected families and prayed unto God to comfort
them.
She said government would continue to seek for justice and bring to book
the perpetrators of the gruesome killings.
