“We are not aware of it. Can a family member or anyone with details send a petition to admin@nidcom.gov.ng,” he is quoted to have said to Sahara Reporters in a text message.
This development comes not long after a Nigerian man was reportedly beaten to death by a group of Chinese in the Republic of the Philippines.
“They tied his hands up, covered and tied his mouth and was beaten blue-black until he gave up the ghost.
“This should never be allowed to get swept under the carpet regardless of the relationship between the Philippines and China!
“This is so inhuman and barbaric! I can’t even think straight at the moment cos of the horrific videos I’m getting right now from the hospital,” Michael Ojuola, a friend of the deceased who disclosed the incident wrote.

It is unclear what offence the deceased had committed to warrant his brutal and lawless murder.
