The commission also condoled particularly with the children and the Nigerian community in the US.
“NiDCOM will continue to monitor police investigations into the unfortunate incident,” the statement said.
Head of Sugar Land Police Department Eric Robins was quoted to have said: “One of the kids dialed 911 apparently when he suspected that there was a fight or disturbance going on inside the resident and the Police said when its officers arrived at the house, they found the couple dead inside their home.
“It appears that it could be a potential murder-suicide but it has not been totally ruled.”
