A disabled 39 year old Nigerian, Alika Ogochukwu was killed in Italy last Friday. Reports say the Nigerian had begged the Italian for alms but instead of the later helping the former brutalized him in a most cruel manner that smacked of racism and ended up murdering him.
The incident was said to have happened on a busy street with plenty of onlookers and passers by most of whom were mocking the helpless Ogochukwu and recording the occurrence.
The Nigerian Embassy in Rome has confirmed the incident and is reportedly taking up the case with a view to getting justice for the late disabled Nigerian.
Ogochukwu’s case is the latest of several racism-induced killings of Nigerians in Europe and other parts of the World and how the Nigerian Embassy/Government handles it, according to investigations, will go a long way in rekindling hope of a brighter future for the Citizens.
