Nigerian man identified as Ifeanyi Madu alias Nwa Jesus, died in an accident on Monday morning, March 13th, after the bike on which he was riding skidded on Kothanur Avalahalli Road, in Bengaluru, India. However, the African community has described the death as "murder" and is questioning the police version of event.

The Central Crime Branch said that Madu died after he fell from the bike when they were chasing him and his friend for peddling drugs.

The African community, contesting the police version, said that some of its members saw Madu with plainclothes police officers near a supermarket in the area around 10pm. In a letter to the Nigerian high commission in New Delhi, they have sought its intervention so that the case is handed over to an independent agency like the Criminal Investigation Department (CID)
"We have a lot of suspicion in this case that convinces us that the Nigerian national was murdered and the police are making it appear as if it was an accident," Nigerian Community President, Igwe Elvis Ohachosim wrote in a letter to the Nigerian Embassy in New Delhi.

"According to our information, the deceased was seen in the evening of March 12, 2017 with policemen pulling him here and there. Thereafter they didnt know where they took him." the letter reads.

K N Yashavanth Kumar, inspector, women and narcotic cell of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) said in his complaint that his team was on Kothanur Avalahalli Road expecting to make an arrest after an exchange of drugs for money when the accident occurred. A senior officer said the team had left the office around 7.30pm and was waiting at the spot.

An official statement quoting Kumar's complaint said:
"The team was waiting by the road. Around 12.10am (Monday), two persons riding a scooter passed and returned, making a U-turn; suddenly the rider tried speeding with the intention of running away."
Police said the rider lost control, and the pillion rider was tossed from the bike. The rider left him behind and escaped. Yashvanth's complaint said his team took the victim to Bowring and Lady Curzon hospital in Shivajinagar, and the doctor declared him as "dead on arrival."
A 24-year-old Nigerian who was with Madu when the police picked up the later said his his friend "was alive when he was caught by those men."
"Around 10pm on Sunday, a group of men in civil clothes who were wielding canes followed them on bikes. Madu stopped the bike near Green Supermarket to allow them to go. I stopped the bike thinking that the men on bikes coming behind would pass by us. But they stopped their bikes and surrounded us. A few of them claimed that they were police and caught Madu. I managed to escape. I fell down while running.
The youth, who injured his right knee, said the bike belonged to him. Both had just come from Mysuru on Sunday morning. According to him, Madu lived in Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu from where he would bring clothes and footwear and sell them to his community members in the city.


Later, representatives of 11 African nations were called to the hospital in a bid to identify the deceased. They were shocked to see blood still oozing out from Madu's head in the back. There were no other noticeable injuries on the body.
"It is clearly does not look like an accident," said Elvis, pointing out that there were no scratches on his body other than the fresh wound behind his back.
Based on information provided by the Nigerian community, police have contacted the Foreigner Regional Registration Office and are awaiting confirmation of the man's identity. Police said they do not have any conclusive evidence at present to link Madu with any kind of criminal activity, including drug dealing.
The community's legal adviser Bosco Kaweesi said:
"The nature of the injuries do not point to an accident. We want an impartial investigation into the matter. This murder comes close on the heels of the murder of a Ugandan woman in February, who the police conveniently called a prostitute and her death has not been investigated properly."


Police maintain that the death was caused by an accident and that they never had Madu in custody. Police have seized the vehicle involved in the accident but had not traced its owner or the rider. They have found a mobile phone, which they think belonged to Madu. Police commissioner Praveen Sood said:
"We are checking those details. We don't know if it is a stolen vehicle. We cannot say anything now."

RIP 2 d dead

Another one again? Nigeria! Nigerians!!! Which way?

But where is lalasticlala sef

Rip

But what is wrong with Nigerians? Must you live everywhere, even in places where they hate the sight of you? From India to South Africa, the same story and yet you never retaliate.

Eze Ndigbo!

No place like home...let everybody return to develop their fatherland.

Surprising that no one commented what they wanted to arrest him for...drug peddling

Say NO to drugs

Fowl play

Well well well... another one gone in a foreign land.

RIP

These Indians can do anything. They are very crafty, even the ones working here in Nigeria can lie. Hence the High Commission should properly investigate this death. Enough of unnecessary wasting of human lives. If they cant tolerate us there, they should equally leave Nigeria.

i really dont know what nigerians go to india for.
1st, thats one of the poorest countries in the world.
2, they hate africans. there are many cases of them killing blacks for just no reason.
i no know wetin dey do some naija boys sef

It is silly to hear people shouting, "No place like home. Come back home." What have you done to stop the killings taking place under your nose from Rivers to Ife to Abia to Benue to Ogun to Kaduna and numerous extrajudicial killings that are not even reported? People, anywhere other than Nigeria is safer than Nigeria. Crossing middle age here is wholly by GOD'S grace. If you are not killed on a bad road, you are killed by a dumb force personnel. If you are not killed by an armed robber who needs only your cheap phone, you are downed by a bloodthirsty gang. If you are not killed by phcn-kindled fire, you are killed by a fake medicine. If you are not run over by a Dangote truck, you are roasted by the flames of a death-calling petrol tanker. Should I go on?

Many have escaped death by leaving the shores of this country. Many more will escape death only when they leave like others. Those who remain must trust in the Divine for a long fruitful life.

The inhumanity of man.
Meanwhile the other day, indians were angry that an indian was shot in america because of racism....

To be buried in India is not a good thing, it's better to die in your country and be remembered by relatives than over there and be forgotten

Why are the Nigeria authorities not investigating all this brutal attacks on Nigerians in diaspora.

Proper investigation should commence

What are you guys doing in India..if he was to still be in Nigeria... He would be alive.... India of all place.... In this age.... Nawao... Rip

the truth of the matter is the police men killed this man just for nothing

Why are Indians treating us like poo now? And yet, we protect and guide them here like kings. Nigerian government needs to do more in protecting her citizens abroad.

None of these will happen to an American or a British.
