The Federal Government of Nigeria has warned Nigerian parents to stop sending their children to Northern Cyprus Schools. This is following the reported incessant and mysterious killing of Nigerians in Northern Cyprus.
The Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) Abike Dabiri-Erewa, warned parents against sending their children to universities in Northern Cyprus. She said this on Monday when a delegation led by Justice Amina Bello visited the commission’s office in Abuja.
Justice Bello is the mother of a Nigerian engineering student, Ibrahim Khaleel, who was allegedly killed in Northern Cyprus recently.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa said it was too risky and deadly to send children to schools in Northern Cyprus as hundreds of Nigerian students had been killed there mysteriously without any conclusive investigations.
She further stated that the death of Ibrahim Khaleel should be the tipping point to a stop in the killing of our children anywhere in the world, especially in Northern Cyprus.
According to her “It is not only Ibrahim. Kennedy Dede, Augustine Ngok, Gabriel Sorewei, Osabanjo Owoyale, Augustine Wallace, Stanley Eteno, Hassan Babatunde, Temitayo Adigun, and Kubat Abraham are just a few of those we know.
“Unfortunately, most Nigerians do not know that Northern Cyprus is not recognized by any country in the world".
Citing the reason why the government has not been able to do much about the killings, she said, “Northern Cyprus is not an UN-recognised country. It is only recognized by Turkey.
She stressed that thousands of Nigerian students are schooling there while hundreds have been killed and there is no one to take the case to.
All the killings are in similar circumstances and the school will only tell you that they committed suicide. That is the end. Abike Dabiri Added.
