The Nigerian Ambassador to Italy, Amb Mfawa Omini Abam, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) , as well as the Nigerian Community in Italy, have demanded full investigation into the killing of a Nigerian housewife, Rita Amenze (31) by her Italian husband Pierrangelo Pellizzar (61) in Italy
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) speaking on the sad incidence stated that her estranged husband, Mr Pierangelo Pellizzar, has been arrested.
Dabiri-Erewa said during a briefing in Abuja on Sunday, that the alleged killing of the housewife by her husband due to the fact that she filed for a divorce was quite unfortunate and sad.
Speaking on the unfortunate incidence, the President of National Union of Nigerian Associations in Italy (NUNAI), Mr Rowland Ndukuba also condemned the killing and thanked the Police authorities for the arrest of the husband.
The Nigerian Ambassador, Mfawa Omini Abam, who was also informed about the pathetic death of the Nigerian, promised that the Embassy will ensure that proper investigation is carried out.
It was reported that Rita had filed for divorce which rubbed off negatively on her embittered husband thus prompting him to carry out the heinous act of killing her. Rita was killed in front of her colleagues in the parking lot of Mf Mushroom, a company where she worked on Friday morning, in Noventa Vicentina.
