The Federal Government has charged South Africa to ensure that those
responsible for the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Ndubuisi-Chukwu are
brought to book.
Late Mrs. Ndubuisi-Chukwu, the Deputy Director-General of Chartered
Insurance Institute of Nigeria was in South Africa to attend the
conference of the African Insurance Organisation, AIO, but was found
dead in her hotel room in Johannesburg on June thirteenth.
The Federal Government said it “condemned in very strong terms the
unfortunate murder of Mrs. Ndubuisi-Chukwu in South Africa.”
Chairperson of the Nigeria Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, Abike
Dabiri-Erewa in a statement yesterday, said “this is one death too
many and cannot be swept under the carpet.”
Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa called on the South African authorities to rise up
to their responsibilities and ensure those behind the crime are
brought to book.
She added that she is confident of the determination of the Nigerian
High Commission in Pretoria and the Consulate General in Johannesburg
to resolve the situation.
Meanwhile, Abike Dabiri-Erewa on behalf of the government and
Nigerians extended her condolences to the family of the deceased.
She quoted President Muhammadu Buhari as saying that no Nigerian
anywhere in the world will be treated with levity and unjustly.
It would be recalled that Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano
last Monday urged the Federal Government to investigate the alleged
murder of Mrs. Obianuju Ndubuisi-Chukwu in Johannesburg.
