The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Nigerians living abroad and ensuring justice for victims of crimes in foreign countries following the conviction and sentencing of a man for the killing of two Nigerians in Canada.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Commission’s Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, NiDCOM said the Ontario Court of Justice sentenced the offender to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for 25 years for the murders of Chibueze Momah and Tosin Amos-Arowoshegbe.

The victims were killed in a nightclub shooting in Vaughan, Ontario, on July 23, 2022.

According to the Commission, the convict was found guilty on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of unlawfully causing bodily harm.
