House of Reps advise Nigerian Students against Studying In Cyprus International University
Following the tragic death
of two Nigerian students in Cyprus, the lower house of Assembly has warn
Nigerians of the dangers of going to study in Cyprus.
In a statement made by Hon.
Dabiri-Erewa, the University claimed that a 20-year old Nigerian girl was knocked down
by a female drunk driver whose
identity was protected by Cyprus authorities.
Investigation revealed that the University connived with the North Cyprus
police to release Soriwe’s killer and also shield her identity from his
parents.The university went ahead to send Soriwe’s body to his family as unaccompanied cargo without any of his belongings, and with no word of condolence from the institution.
Another Nigerian who lost his life in the region was Stanley Ateimo, who was a musician based in Cyprus and was murdered in August 2013.
The House of Representatives have warned that both the University and its location, Nicosia, are dangerous for Nigerian students, while the institution itself is not recognised by Nigeria and other countries in the world.
