Nigerian Man Denied Asylum, Commits Suicide

Prince Jerry, a 25-year-old Nigerian man, killed himself on January 28 by jumping under a train in Tortona after his request for a residency permit for humanitarian reasons was rejected, Monsignor Giacomo Martino, the head of association Migrantes, said on Thursday.

Martino, who is in charge of the association that helps migrants in the port-city, made the announcement in a chat group with his parishioners.

The message was subsequently shared on social media Wednesday night and published by local newspapers on Thursday.

Jerry’s funeral will be held Friday morning at the Chiesa dell’Annunziata in Genoa.
