The chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa 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 and Public Relations, 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.
Without holding brief for the family of the deceased, but for the justice of all men of good conscience, i condemn in strong terms, the killing of the alleged offender. The Ireland that we all know, is a country of laws and respect for human right, making the country one of the best places in this beautiful world. The Garda killer and in this case, passion killer,is not unconnected with racism and had acted in bad faith, totally different from what the very highly placed Garda of the Irish Government, is/are known for. A full blown but unbiased investigation is vehemently supported to demand the needed justice against this unholy alien act, totally inhuman and against the letters of the law. Injustice to one is injustice to all no matter the skin colour. Other modus, applicable; proportionality test in the light of the overwhelming evidence, were abandoned. The passionate killer Garda should be made to face the full weight of the good laws of the reverend Irish Government, known for peace and respect for human rights.
All life matters irrespective of your colour black or white gender. No one deserves this illicit act from any human beings . Hope Mrs dabiri find justice for him and bring the culprit to justice and serve as a deterrent to others. Thanks
