The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has called for a thorough investigation following the tragic death of a Nigerian TikTok content moderator who was found dead in her apartment in Kenya. The commission is demanding that the Kenyan authorities conduct a transparent and urgent probe to uncover the circumstances surrounding her death.
Mysterious Death Raises Concerns
The young Nigerian woman, whose identity is yet to be officially disclosed, was reportedly working as a content moderator for TikTok in Kenya before her untimely passing. Her body was discovered in her apartment, sparking concerns over possible foul play.
According to initial reports, there were no clear signs of forced entry, leaving many to question the exact cause of her death. Some sources have speculated that she might have been under work-related stress, while others suspect external foul play.
NiDCOM’s Response and Demand for Justice
Reacting to the news, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairperson of NiDCOM, stated that the Nigerian government will not remain silent over the loss of its citizen abroad. She urged the Kenyan authorities to:
Launch a full-scale investigation into the circumstances leading to her death.
Ensure that justice is served if foul play is detected.
Keep the Nigerian authorities and family informed of every development.
Concerns Over Working Conditions for Content Moderators
This incident has also sparked conversations about the working conditions of content moderators, particularly those working for social media platforms. Many content moderators deal with mentally and emotionally distressing content, which could lead to stress, anxiety, and depression.
Industry experts argue that tech companies must:
Improve mental health support for their moderators.
Ensure fair working conditions with proper oversight.
Conduct wellness checks on employees who deal with disturbing content.
Call for Nigerian Government’s Intervention
Nigerians on social media have also called on the federal government to take stronger action in protecting its citizens abroad. Many have urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to collaborate with Kenyan authorities to ensure a transparent investigation.
What’s Next?
The Kenyan police have assured the public that an investigation is ongoing, and an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. Meanwhile, NiDCOM has vowed to monitor the case closely and ensure that the deceased’s family gets justice.
