Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa has condemned “in strong terms” the killing of a Nigerian in Tripoli, Libya.
The Nigerian whose identity has not been confirmed was doused in petrol on Wednesday at a factory in Tripoli by three Libyan nationals before being set on fire.
Mrs Dabiri-Erewa in a statement on Thursday signed by a spokesperson for NIDCOM Gabriel Odu described the act as “dastardly, beastial and unacceptable.”
Dabiri-Erewa called on the Libyan authorities to apply the full weight of the law on the suspected Killers.
Meanwhile, a statement by the Libyan interior ministry has condemned the act insisting that it is a new wave of violence on migrants in North Africa.
The United Nations has also described the Killing of the Nigerian as “another senseless crime against migrants in the country.”
