4 unidentified Nigerian students on Thursday died from Carbon Dioxide poisoning from a gas leak, in their apartment in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Neighbours said that the landlord’s poor maintenance culture and neglect indirectly led to the deaths.

Two of the deceased were final year medical students who are due to graduate July 9.

Their bodies were found at around 12:15am on Thursday.

Nigeria has no embassy and diplomatic representation in Georgia, so the bodies of the deceased are at the mercy of the Georgian state.

Nigerians in Gerogia have urged the Nigerian government to come to their rescue as a similar incident which led to the death of two girls also happened in Kutaisi, another Georgian city.

The bodies are currently at the Federal Forensic Bureau for autopsy.
