The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has condemned the latest killing of a 22-year-old Nigerian e-hailing driver, Isaac Satlet, in Pretoria, South Africa and demanded justice and arrest as well as prosecution of those involved.
Dabiri-Erewa made this demand in a statement on Sunday by NiDCOM’s spokesman, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, saying that the increasing rate of criminality and killings of Nigerians in South Africa was worrisome and calls for serious concern.
The NIDCOM boss, while noting that Nigeria and South Africa had come a long way as African brothers, wondered why some people were committing heinous crimes against fellow Africans.
Dabiri-Erewa urged the South African authorities to ensure that justice was served for the murdered Nigerian driver and ensure the protection of the lives and property of non-indigenes in South Africa.
She reiterated the need to strengthen the rapid response protocols and institutionalised structured escalation mechanisms for diaspora-related incidents.
Dabiri-Erewa expressed the resolve of the Commission to intensify risk mapping and structured engagement with host authorities.
Meanwhile, a female suspect had been reportedly arrested in connection with the brutal murder of 22-year-old Nigerian e-hailing driver, Satlet, in Pretoria West, South Africa.
