Nigerian students beaten mercilessly and arrested in India, accused of cannibalism
According to a Twitter user #fatimaaliu, some Nigerian students who live in a compound in Delhi where an Indian boy got missing, were beaten mercilessly today, while some were arrested with no evidence. The Twitter user went on to disclose that most Nigerian students didn't go to school today, because their car was smashed in broad daylight.
The Nigerian students were accused of killing and eating a class 12 student, who had gone missing. A mob also raided their fridge to find evidence.
The Telegraph reports that though they failed to find any, local TV channels reported it as a case of cannibalism. The Nigerians, students of Noida International University, were
taken into ‘protective custody’ by police.
The incident occurred at NSG Black Cat Enclave on Friday night. A 19-year-old student Manish Kumar had earlier gone missing, triggering wild speculation that he had been eaten by the students.
The police rushed to the enclave after the refrigerator raid, and took the suspects to custody. Manish was later found lying in a nearby park on Saturday morning ,and passed away in a private hospital later. .
While the police are waiting for a post-mortem report to ascertain the cause of his death, his family have registered a case of abduction and murder against the Nigerian students.
The police released the students for a short while on Saturday and took them into custody again. They later handed over the students to an African student association, which has moved them to an undisclosed location.
A group of Africans had protested outside Kasni police station on Saturday against the detention of students. A local resident also alleged that the Africans, may have eaten up the two dogs that have gone missing in the area.
Another Twitter user disclosed that all attempts to reach to the Nigerian embassy in India, proved abortive. This leaves one wondering why foreigners will be hostile to Nigerians, who accomodate and tolerate them when they travel down here.
