NiDCOM Urges Investigation Into The Death Of Nigerian Woman At Nairobi Apartment

Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the death of a Nigerian content moderator, Ladi Olubunmi, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Olubunmi, who was employed by Teleperformance, a social media contracting firm in Kenya, was found dead in her apartment last week.

It was further stated that she had died three days before her decomposing body was discovered at her apartment.

Gabriel Odu of NiDCOM’s Media and Public Relations Unit, disclosed in a statement on Thursday that Hon Dabiri-Erewa  has emphasized the importance of proper labour laws to protect Nigerians working abroad.

‘Proper mobility of labour law in Nigeria would protect the rights and well-being of Nigerians employed abroad, ensuring proper documentation, monitoring, and support systems’ she was quoted as saying.

The former federal lawmaker further noted that the establishment of such laws would help prevent cases where Nigerian workers abroad struggle with employment conditions, lack of mental health support, and restrictions on returning home when necessary.

‘The Chairman, NiDCOM, extends heartfelt condolences to Ms. Olubunmi’s family, friends, and colleagues. She urges a thorough investigation by Kenyan authorities to determine the circumstances surrounding Olubunmi’s untimely passing’ the statement added.

Hon Dabiri-Erewa also noted that NiDCOM is in contact with the Nigerian High Commission in Kenya to monitor the situation and provide necessary support to family of the deceased woman.

She appealed to Nigerians in Kenya to remain calm while the case is being investigated.

Restating the Federal Government’s commitment to protecting Nigerians abroad, she advised job seekers to ensure they engage only with reputable organizations and to stay informed about their rights and available support structures -Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
