The Nigerian Ambassador, Mfawa Omini Abam, who has been informed about the pathetic death of the Nigerian, has promised that the Embassy will ensure that a proper investigation is carried out.

A 61-year-old Italian man, Pierangelo Pellizzar, has allegedly shot dead his 31-year-old Nigerian wife, Amenze Rita, in Italy.

It was reported that Rita filed for divorce which angered her embittered husband to carry out the heinous act of killing her.

Rita was killed in front of her colleagues in the parking lot of Mf Mushroom, a company where she worked on Friday morning, in Noventa Vicentina.

It was gathered that the suspect, Pellizzar waylaid his estranged wife at about 7:30 am and shot her four times, until life was gone out of her.

Rita who just returned from Nigeria a week ago arrived in Italy in 2017 through Libya and got married to the Italian man in 2018.
