NIDCOM boss seeks justice for late Itunu Babalola who died in Cote D’ivoire

The chairman/CEO of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has demanded a full autopsy and investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of Itunu Babalola in Cote D’ivoire.

Dabiri-Erewa made the demand when she visited the ambassador of Cote D’ivoire to Nigeria, Ambassador Traore Kallilou in Abuja. 

The NIDCOM boss presented a protest letter to the ambassador requesting a detailed account that culminated in the death of a Nigerian woman, Itunu Babalola.

Dabiri-Erewa urged Nigerians in the Diaspora to always be good ambassadors of Nigeria by obeying the laws of their host countries. She also appealed to them to always use their real identity in whatever they do and also register their presence in Nigerian missions in their places of residence.

Meanwhile, the Cote D’ivoire ambassador, Traore Kallilou pledged full cooperation to ensure that nothing was swept under the carpet and an autopsy report is monitored and published  forthwith.

It will be recalled that Itunu’s house in  Abidjan Cote D’ivoire was burgled and in her bid to get justice took the case to the police for proper investigation.

While filling the case, she used Miss Becky Paul instead of her real name Itunu Babalola to write her statement and the case unfortunately turned against her as she was later accused of human trafficking.
