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 above ). 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.
