The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has asked the
Indian authorities to account for the death of one of its citizens in the Asian
country.
On Thursday, video clips had surfaced on social media of an
exhausted Nigerian man being seized by the shirt by an Indian man as others
surrounded the duo in what appeared to be a scene of violence.
It was gathered that the Nigerian, a businessman who is
simply identified as Sunny Mike, was accused of theft. A mob action was
reported to have ensued, leading to his death.
Reacting to one of the video clips, Abike Dabiri, chairman
of NIDCOM, said the commission has reached out to its mission in Delhi and
requested a full investigation on the incident.
“The Nigerian mission in India has reported to the police
and has demanded a full investigation on this incident which happened two days
ago. We will keep on it and update. Sad!,” Dabiri wrote.
In a statement issued via its Twitter handle, the commission said: “Our attention has been drawn to the above incident of a Nigerian brutally beaten up in Delhi, India.Pls check @nidcom_gov handle. The Nigerian mission in India has reported to the police and has demanded a full investigation on this incident which happened two days ago. We will keep on it and update .
