The Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of Khaleed Oladipo, a 20-year-old Nigerian student who was fatally stabbed in Leicester, United Kingdom.
Khaleed, a second-year Cybersecurity student at De Montfort University, was reportedly attacked while returning home to watch a football match.
His family described him as a deeply loved son whose life was cut short far too soon.
Dabiri-Erewa described the incident as heartbreaking, noting that it represents a painful loss to the Oladipo family as well as the Nigerian community both at home and in the diaspora.
She called on UK authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure justice for the deceased, while reaffirming NiDCOM’s commitment to the welfare and protection of Nigerians living abroad.
