In his statement, the investigation will unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of the student identified as Ikem.
The statement reads: “The attention of Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has been drawn to a viral social media news item on the death of a Nigerian student, identified as Ikem, who was allegedly murdered by a group of Chinese in the Republic of Philippines.
