The Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose has disclosed that Federal Government did not send any representative to the burial of 26 Nigerian girls and women buried in Italy on Friday.

"Thanks to the Italian govt for giving those 26 girls,who are victims of our collective failure as a country a befitting burial. That no single official of the FG of Nigeria attended the burial is another sad reminder of a country that does not care for its citizens.Sad!" He wrote on Twitter.


The women were sexually abused and killed while trying to cross the Mediterrean to Europe early this month.
