The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has responded to a social media user who called her attention to a video where former militant leader Asari Dokubo allegedly threatened Igbos with a firearm during a live session.

 

The concerned user, known as Queen Bee on the platform X (formerly Twitter), urged Dabiri to address the matter, citing the seriousness of the threats.

In her response, Dabiri-Erewa clarified that her responsibilities are limited to incidents occurring within the Nigerian diaspora, stating, “Did it happen in the diaspora? That’s my job schedule. Check @nidcom_gov website for more on our job schedule. Let me know of more cases like Amaka’s. We will deal with them appropriately.”

On Monday, a meeting of EU foreign ministers reportedly approved a 16th package of sanctions against Russia while saying a swift casefire that favors Moscow will not be accepted.   However, Hungary, whose leader Viktor Orban has remained close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and has persistently complicated EU efforts to support Ukraine, said it will not back further sanctions.   The country’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto also said his country will not agree to a boost in EU military aid as US President Donald Trump continues his push to force Ukraine to agree to a peace deal with Russia.      US officials met their Russian counterparts last week, while Trump and Zelenskyy have embarked on a bitter spat via the media, with the US leader accusing Kyiv of starting the war and questioning the Ukrainian president’s legitimacy.    Trump’s peace plan, which appears designed to illustrate his self-appointed role as a global dealmaker, faces resistance on both sides.       Russia said on Monday that the quick end to the war is “unacceptable”.   A ceasefire without a long-term settlement “is the path to a swift resumption of fighting and a resumption of the conflict with even more serious consequences, including consequences for Russian-US relations,” Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news agency.      Meanwhile, Ukraine signalled on Sunday that a contentious proposal that would hand Washington $500bn worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals has now been taken off the table, and that talks on a different deal are progressing.   Zelenskyy also told a forum in Kyiv that he would resign his post if that meant peace was achieved.
