THE Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has said that the suspect in the murder of Ogochukwu Alika has been arrested by the Italian police and is expected to be charged to court.

In reaction to the murder of the deceased, the NiDCOM boss said the Italian police were working and cooperating with the Nigerian mission in Italy to ensure justice is done and the culprit face the consequences he deserves.

The statement by NiDCOM added that the Nigerian mission is requesting that the Italian government should provide the widow, a good job to cater for the rest of the family, since she is now the family’s bread winner.
