The Federal Government ordered a thorough investigation into the killing of a Nigerian national in Italy and denounced the act.
On Friday, 39-year-old Alika Ogorchukwu was brutally killed in Civitanova Marche City, Province of Macerata, Marche Region.
Nigerians in the country of Europe were horrified by this incidence.
Francisca Omayuli, the press secretary for the ministry of foreign affairs, issued a statement on Sunday in which the federal government encouraged its Italian counterpart to examine into the incident in order to bring the culprits to justice.
The statement read: “The Federal Government of Nigeria condemns in the strongest terms the unjustifiable murder of Mr. Ogorchukwu and calls on the government of Italy to bring the perpetrator of the heinous act to book without delay.
“Accordingly, the Federal Government of Nigeria has directed its Embassy in Rome, Italy, to remain seized of the unwelcome development and work speedily, together with the relevant Italian authorities, to ensure that justice is served, in order to forestall a repeat of the unfortunate incident.”
The government urged Nigerians living in Italy to exhibit restraint as the law takes its course in the matter.
