The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM has demanded a probe into the death of Ms. Ladi Anzaki Olubunmi, a Nigerian and TikTok content moderator, employed by Teleperformance, the social media’s contracting firm in Kenya
In a statement signed and released today by Gabriel Odu, of the Media and Public Relations Unit, NIDCOM, CEO, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, also highlighted the critical importance of implementing a Labour Mobility Law in Nigeria.
According to Dabiri-Erewa, such legislation would establish frameworks to protect the rights and well-being of Nigerians employed abroad, ensuring proper documentation, monitoring, and support systems.
The NIDCOM Chairperson extended heartfelt condolences to Ms. Olubunmi’s family, friends and colleagues, adding that the commission is on hand to provide necessary support to Ms. Olubunmi’s family during this challenging time.
Dabiri-Erewa called for a thorough investigation by Kenyan authorities to determine the circumstances surrounding Olubunmi’s untimely passing, noting that the Nigerian High Commission in Kenya is monitoring the situation. She appealed to Nigerians in Kenya to remain calm throughout the whole process.
Ms. Olubunmi has been a staff member of the company since 2022. She was found dead in her apartment in Nairobi, Kenya, last week, when she was absent from work for three days.
