The death of Mr Joseph Nwajueze has raise many controversial comments against the China government. Nigeria has asked China to carry out a thorough investigation into the death of a Nigerian Pastor living in that country.

Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa made the demand in a statement on Wednesday.

She said Nwajueze’s death was condemnable.

”The alleged killing of the Nigeria, Anambra -born pastor, who lives with his wife, Chinwe and four children in China, should be thoroughly investigated and the culprits punished,” she said.

He (Nwajueze) was carrying out his legitimate business in China and there was no reason for his killing, she added.

Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa condemned the stigmatisation of Nigerians living in China, saying that those who were found guilty of the country’s law should be prosecuted.

While condoling with the family of the late Nwajueze, Dabiri-Erewa reiterated Nigeria’s resolve to ensure that justice is done by making those responsible to face the law.

The chairman of the commission, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, however, appealed to irate Nigerians in China to be patient and not to take the law into their hands as the Federal Government would ensure that justice was done.

Nwajueze was allegedly killed by Chinese security operatives in circumstances suspected to be related to immigration formalities.

A Sources in China said, that the Chinese security personnel, in an attempt to apprehend the fleeing Nigerian pastor, forcefully used a device on him in order to demobilise him.

It was gathered that the device made the pastor numb, leading to his collapse and eventual death.
