Locals seem to be targeting Nigerians in India
for no good reason. On October 30, a 37 year
old man Obado Uzoma Simeon was murdered
in Parra village, North Goa, India. Aside from
Uzoma, several other Nigerians have been
harassed, assaulted and beaten by the locals and
Indian police isn't doing anything about the
targeted violence. Locals claim the Nigerians
being targeted are drug dealers.
Angry Nigerians staged a protest in India last
week over Uzoma's killing. They attacked the
police vehicle carrying his body, removed the
body from the van and kept it on the road,
blocking traffic in the area (pic below ). The
protest led to the arrest of several Nigerians
who have since been released.
Nigerians in India have been complaining
bitterly about how the locals are maltreating
them. And there's actually a directive from
Goa's Chief Minister to police to track down
Nigerians living illegally in the state and deport
them. A few days after the protest, a minister in
the state added fuel to the fire by refering to
Nigerians as cancer.
