The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has condemned the alleged killing of a 19-year-old Nigerian student in Manitoba, Canada, Afolabi Stephen.
Dabiri-Erewa, in a condolence message issued by the Director of Media and Public Relations and Protocols, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, said she was shocked and promised that the commission will ensure that justice is served.
Though the details of his death are still sketchy, the Winnipeg, Manitoba Police Department, in a statement posted on its website that its officers responded to a call about a young male who was acting erratically.
The police noted that upon arrival, efforts to calm the young man proved abortive which led to the discharge of a firearm by the police which ultimately led to his death.
