The Federal Government has condemned the stabbing to death of a Nigerian teenager, Fola Orebiyi, in London.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa said the killing of Orebiyi was becoming worrisome.
The presidential aide called for full investigation of the incident .
In a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, she said Nigeria would not condone the execution of her nationals abroad.
Mrs Dabiri-Erewa urged Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in making Nigeria a better place.
Orebiyi was stabbed to death in a street clash on Sunday July 3, in Notting Hill, London by a gang of youths. He was chased into a busy road where he was stabbed in the neck in front of shocked passersby and tourists.
Following the stabbing, he collapsed and bled to death and all efforts by the police and paramedics to resuscitate him, proved abortive.
The deceased’s neighbour, Osman Sahal, told the police: “He was a nice boy and very considerate; none of us can understand how this could have happened. As far as I knew, he was never in trouble. I suppose we must now wait for the police to investigate.”
