An X (formerly Twitter) user, Revolutionary Michael, with handle @michaelojuola, has alleged the murder of a Nigerian student in The Philippines.
According to Michael, the student, Nkem, reportedly met his death in the hands of some Chinese nationals.
The tweet says: “A friend of mine, A Nigerian medical student named Ikem studying in the Republic of Philippines was brutally murdered by a group of Chinese.
“They tied his hands up, covered and tied his mouth and was beaten blue-black until he gave up the ghost.”
The tweet did not give further information on the student. However, in response, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission via its verified Twitter handle @nidcom_gov tweeted back at @michaelojuola:
