Eric Maigo's murder case

The Nigeria High Commission in Kenya has responded to the claims that Nigerian citizens may be responsible for at least one of the recent femicide cases in Kenya.

Through a memo dated January 17, Wednesday the Nigerian consulate said that they were concerned by online blogs, doctored videos and social media posts, maliciously entrenching spurious speculation that ‘Nigerians’ had perpetrated these heinous crimes.

The office raised concerns that Nigerian citizens were being targeted in the online attacks.

They went on to urge Nigerian nationals residing in Kenya to remain calm and law-abiding as investigations into the cases continue.
