NiDCOM to Probe Death of Nigerian in Belgian Police Custody

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) said it would work with the Nigerian embassy in Belgium to demand for investigations into the circumstances that  led to the death of a Nigerian national Daniel Eheri in the custody of Luxembourg Police, Grand-Ducale.

In a statement by the Commission’s Director of Media and Public Relations, stated that Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of the Commission, condemned in strong terms the allegation that the suspect died in the custody of the Police authorities.

Dabiri-Erewa who condoled the family of the deceased as well as Nigerian Community in Luxembourg said that the Commission would work with other stakeholders and ensure that justice is serve.

The NiDCOM boss said that the Commission will work with the Nigerian Embassy in that country to demand for thorough investigation.

The Nigerian Community had claimed that a written petition was sent to the Federal Government of Nigeria, calling for an urgent investigation into the alleged extrajudicial killing of a Nigerian national, Daniel Eheri, who reportedly died while in the custody of the Luxembourg Police Grand-Ducale.

The said petition, titled *“Case of an Extrajudicial Killing of a Nigerian by the Police Authority of Luxembourg,”* was allegedly addressed to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa and signed by the National Coordinator of the Nigerian Community in Luxembourg, Mr Sunday Adekolu.

According to the petition, Eheri was arrested by the Luxembourg police on 10 February 2025 while in possession of foodstuffs and was confirmed dead by the following day. The letter raised concerns over the lack of explanation by Luxembourg authorities regarding the circumstances of his death.

“The late Eheri Daniel was a Nigerian with an untainted record in Luxembourg and a residence permit holder,” Adekolu stated. “

Adekolu called on the Nigerian government to intervene and ensure that the matter is not ignored. “To prevent a recurrence of such a dastardly act of inhumanity against our people here in Luxembourg, there must be transparency and justice in the handling of this case,” he said.

He also noted that Nigeria’s Ambassador to Belgium, Ambassador Obinna Chiedu Onowu—whose diplomatic coverage includes Luxembourg—had written two letters concerning the case but received no response. “The ambassador’s efforts were rebuffed, as there had been no official response to his letters on the matter,” Adekolu said.

 

Adekolu, however,  requested for urgent assistance from NiDCOM to clarify the facts of the case and press the Luxembourg police to conduct an autopsy.

 

“We, the Nigerian Community in Luxembourg, do hereby seek your urgent assistance on the matter, to put records in right perspectives, to persuade the Luxembourg Police Grand-Ducale into conducting autopsy on the remains of EHERI DANIEL, to sensitise the Luxembourg Police on matters that can be done to prevent a re-occurrence of such a dastardly act of inhumanity against our people here in Luxembourg in the future.”
