A young lady Faith Ariwera Chuku, who was shot dead by unknown gunmen along Emohua-Elele-Ahoada Road, Rivers state has been laid to rest on Saturday, September 10

Young Nigerian lady who was killed on her way to Abuja to renew UK visa laid to rest

The 23-year-old lady was buried in Port Harcourt cemetery after a funeral service at Living Hope Baptist Church, Elelenwo.

Faith was one of the Rivers students sent abroad in the governor’s special overseas scheme of the Rivers State Sustainable Dev.Agency (RSSDA) by the administration of the former governor Chibuike Amaechi.

The scheme has since been discontinued by the present governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike who cancelled all forms of academic scholarships in the state.

Faith was said to have made a first class in Medicine from The University of Newcastle, UK.

A Facebook user Orji Kingsley, has written an open letter to Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike of Rivers state on the number of killings under his watch.

LATE FAITH ARIWERA CHUKU; ONE DEATH TOO MANY: His Excellency, this is not another of my usual criticism of what our state has become under you, it is also not another political post as such, but a deep cry from a very sincere heart. As you may well note, this would be the first time I would be addressing you as 'His Excellency / Governor'.

It is a testimony of the seriousness attached to the issue under consideration.

The lady whose pictures appear above is one of the hundreds of Rivers pupils sent abroad by the immediate past Chibuike Amaechi administration under the now rested Governor's Special Overseas Scheme of the Rivers State Sustainable Dev.Agency(RSSDA).

I hear she made first class in Medicine from The University of Newcastle, UK. As you read this Sir, the sad news is that she is no more, a bright star is no more, such a shining example of the human potentials of our state has been sent to the world beyond at her prime. Sir, the very sad news is that she was shot along the now infamous Emohua-Elele-Ahoada Road in Rivers State on her way to Abuja to new renew her visa for a possible return to the UK.

I also hear she's the only daughter of her widowed mother(not so sure), who bore the difficult brunt of seeing her daughter through school after your government announced a cancellation of all forms of Academic Scholarships in the State. Reports say she had returned to help her family raise money with which to proceed to Medical school,sadly, her return has cost her life, what a loss His Excellency!
