The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of Khaleed Oladipo, a 20-year-old Nigerian student who was fatally stabbed in Leicester, UK.
In a statement on Saturday by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Head, Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, NiDCOM, the commission described the incident as heartbreaking and a painful loss to both the Oladipo family and the Nigerian community at home and in the diaspora.
Khaleed Oladipo, a second-year Cybersecurity student at De Montfort University, was reportedly attacked while on his way home to watch a football match. His family has described him as an extremely loved son and family member whose life was cut short far too soon.
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of NiDCOM, called on UK authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and justice for the deceased. She reiterated NiDCOM’s commitment to the welfare and protection of Nigerians in the diaspora community.
The commission’s statement conveyed condolences to the Oladipo family and the Nigerian community, praying for the repose of Khaleed’s soul.
