The Chairman\/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has told the Senate Joint Committees on Diaspora and Inter-Governmental Affairs and Foreign Affairs that the employer of Ikem, a Nigerian student beaten to death in the Philippines, has been charged with murder, along with five others.<\/p>\n

Dabiri-Erewa also said a viral video by a man posted on social media recently alleging that 250 Nigerians are slated for killing in Ethiopia was totally false.<\/p>\n

This was the highlight of the investigative hearing of the Joint Senate Committees presided over by Sen. Victor Umeh.<\/p>\n

Dabiri-Erewa informed that in the case of Ikem, who was brutally murdered, the Philippines authorities have declared the employer, who has since been on the run, wanted.<\/p>\n

She said the Nigeria Embassy had informed the Department of Foreign Affairs in the Philippines and also reported the case to the Inspector General of the Philippines National Police.<\/p>\n

According to her, the Embassy had maintained regular contact with the line police station at the location, with a strong directive to go for the investigation.<\/p>\n

She said the investigating police team on the case are done with evidence building and presented the case to the Mandaue city prosecuting Department for action; who has evaluated it and deemed it fit for murder case filing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have filed the case and issued a warrant of arrest to the boy\u2019s employee and five other suspects; they are charged for murder, human trafficking and operation of illegal business in the Philippines,\u201d Dabiri-Erewa said.<\/p>\n

She told the Committees that to decongest the prisons, amnesty was granted to them but the majority of them went back and still committed the same crime.<\/p>\n
