The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission NiDCOM said the suspect in the murder of Mr. Ogochukwu Alika has been arrested.
The Chairman of the Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa disclosed the arrest, saying the suspect was arrested by the Italian police and is expected to be charged in court.
According to her, the Italian police were working and cooperating with the Nigerian mission in Italy to ensure justice is done and the culprit faces the consequences he deserves.
The Nigerian mission is also requesting that the Italian government compensates Mrs. Alika, the widow, with a good job to cater for the rest of the family, being the family’s breadwinner, now.

Meanwhile, Hon. Dabiri-Erewa, equally gave an update on the gruesome murder of two young Nigerians, Tosin Amos Arowoshegbe, and Chibueze Momoh, who were shot dead at a Canadian nightclub, while working as guards.
