The Nigerian government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned in strongest terms, the death of a Philippines-based Nigerian, Mr. Chibuike Emmanuel Chukwuneke, after he was brutally attacked by his employer.
Chukwuneke allegedly died of complications arising from the torture inflicted on him by thugs who were allegedly contracted by his Chinese employer, after a disagreement between them over the demand for his salary and alleged breach of their contract.
A statement signed and issued by the spokesperson for the ministry, Mrs Francisca K. Omayuli, noted that the official police report obtained by the Nigerian Embassy in the Philippines said that an argument ensued when Chukwuneke demanded that his salary be paid on a pro-rata basis.
