The Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of 6-year-old Amna Ayomide Bennett in Canada.
In a statement signed by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Director of Media, Public Relations and Protocols Unit of NiDCOM, on Saturday in Abuja, Dabiri-Erewa condoled with the bereaved family following reports that the young girl died after reportedly falling from the 28th floor of an apartment building located at 200 Chalkfarm Drive in Canada.
The NiDCOM boss described the incident as painful and heartbreaking, noting that no parent should have to endure the trauma of losing a child in such tragic circumstances.
According to her, the late Ayomide was a bright and promising child whose life was cut short too soon, leaving family members, friends, and members of the Nigerian diaspora community devastated.
Dabiri-Erewa extended her thoughts and prayers to the parents and loved ones of the deceased, while also sympathising with Nigerians in Canada mourning the painful loss.
She urged the family to remain strong in the face of the irreparable loss and prayed for God’s comfort, strength, and peace upon all those affected.
The NiDCOM chairman also called on Nigerians in the diaspora to continue supporting the bereaved family with love, prayers, and compassion during the difficult period.
