The House of Representatives has mandated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intervene in a case of a murdered Nigerian purportedly slated for cremation by German authorities.
Thirty-nine-year old Christy Schnudeck (also known as Omorodion) was married to a German and both were living together until her death.
She reportedly died following a dispute at shop where she had gone to make certain claims, according to a motion tabled by the House Deputy Majority Leader, Leo Ogor.
Ogor said information available indicated that the deceased was murdered and the authorities in Germany are already planning to burn the corpse, against the Nigerian culture of burying the dead.
"This parliament should intervene by facilitating the immediate repatriation of the deceased remains to Nigeria for a befitting burial according to the tradition of her people," he said.
Details of the case are still unclear, but the House ordered an investigation into the death, directing its clerk to liaise with the foreign affairs ministry to retrieve the body and find out the circumstances of death.
