Peter okeke’s a Nigerian student studying in Malaysia. He graduated from Abia state university with a second class honours in Banking and Finance. He did his NYSC(National youth service )and passed out in 2009.
He decided to come to Malaysia In his quest to advance his intellectual capabilities. Upon his arrival in Kuala lumpur he was told to enrol for a mandatory English course as was the norm for foreign students . He paid Rm7000 malaysia riingit which’s equivalent to 350,000 naira to the immigration as required by their law.
They told him to wait for the
immigration proccessing which takes unprecedented time and in most cases ; this
process will never come to fruition.
The schools act as a proxy to the
immigration and over twenty thousand potential Nigerian students are faced with
this dilemma. This situation clearly expose the facade and the inherent fraud in
this program and undoubtedly amounts to extortion by the language schools in
connivance with the Malaysian immigration.
The potential students are usually
issued a paper called “Jalanjalan” as an acknowledgement that your passport’s
under processing by the immigration.
Whenever the immigration’s raiding and
harassing areas populated by Nigerians; which’s on a regular basis and so
invidious, they usually shred the” jalanjalan” and in some cases shred Nigerian
passports with impunity.
On Wednesday, 19 sep 2012, at about
11am, Mr Peter Okeke was in his apartment in the “SJ block” of Legenda college
in Martin(Seremban) a suburb of kuala lumpur , when hundreds of Malaysia
immigration officers came in a Gestapo style that culminated in a
pandemonium.
They broke into his apartment, like
they did to others in virtually all the blocks housing predominantly Africans
and Nigerians , arresting people, using electric shock battons on occupants,
stealing their laptops and other expensive belongings. Out of trepidation, Mr
Okeke jumped out of a fourth floor building and fell on a concrete slab, he was
in pool of his blood.
While he was showing a decline or
deterioration of physical strength, the immigration brought out a pillow and
laid his head on it and continued the raid while no one tended to
him.
It took the ambulance over an hour to
arrive at the scene to administer first aid to this promising young Nigerian. he
gave up the ghost in the hospital.
My greatest pain and disappoinmENT is
premised on the fact that; The Nigerian Ambassador or high commissioner , Mr
Bello Shehu Ringim has not made any effort to visiting the scene for
investigative purposes or the 54 nigerians that were arrested and subsequently
locked up after the raid on SJ.
The incident was aired on the local tv
stations and was a front page news on some of the news media.
This ambassador has shirked his responsibility and should be recalled immediately.
This ambassador has shirked his responsibility and should be recalled immediately.
Malaysia security agencies has
continued this mistreatment on Nigerians unabated; knowing fully that the
ambassador’s neglectful his of duty, responsibilities and insensitive to the
welfare and well being of Nigerians in Malaysia.
