Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of a Nigerian student, Khaleed Oladipo, who was fatally stabbed in Leicester, United Kingdom.
Oladipo, a 20-year-old second-year Cybersecurity student at De Montfort University, was reportedly attacked while returning home to watch a football match. His untimely death has sent shockwaves through his family and the Nigerian community both at home and in the diaspora.
Describing the incident as heartbreaking, Dabiri-Erewa said the loss was a painful one not only for the Oladipo family but also for Nigerians everywhere, noting that a promising life was cut short far too soon.
She called on UK authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and ensure that justice is served for the deceased. Dabiri-Erewa also reaffirmed NiDCOM’s commitment to the welfare, safety, and protection of Nigerians living abroad.
The family of the deceased described Khaleed Oladipo as a deeply loved son and family member whose death has left an irreplaceable void.
