The Senior Special Assistant, SSA, to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has expressed shock over the murder of a Nigerian student, Fola Orebiyi, who was reportedly stabbed to death on Sunday in Notting Hill, London, by a gang of youths.
Dabiri-Erewa, while condemning the act, lamented that the rate at which Nigerian citizens were murdered in the United Kingdom was alarming. Orebiyi was stabbed in a street clash close to Westbourne Grove just yards from the Portobello Arts Club.

The 17-year-old was reportedly involved in a fight on a nearby estate with a gang of youths, who chased him into the busy road, where he was attacked and left to bleed to death. Orebiyi, who completed his General Certificate of Secondary Education, GCSE, at Holland Park in London, was studying for his A-levels at the Chelsea Academy before his death.
In a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Dabiri-Erewa said, “The killing of 17-year-old Fola Orebiyi is unacceptable to the government and people of Nigeria. The killing of Orebiyi and other extra-judicial killing of Nigeria citizens in the UK is becoming worrisome.” While consoling the family of the deceased, Dabiri-Erewa prayed God to give the bereaved family the fortitude to bear the painful loss.
