Nigerian Killed In India Over Biafra by wristbangle: 10:22am On Sep 05, 2017
An argument over the desirability of Biafra by some Nigerians in India has been blamed for the death of N. Chigozie, a 33-year-old who came to India with a student visa.

Indian police in Bengaluru are already probing the death.

The body of the Nigerian was found near the railway gate in Hennur, northeast Bengaluru, in the wee hours of Monday.

Chigozie, a resident of Hennur, was found with head injuries at 2 am; his motorcycle had skidded off the road.

While the body has been shifted to Ambedkar hospital for autopsy. Kothanur police, based on his brother’s statement have registered a murder case, reports the Times of India.

“It seems to be an accidental death. Preliminary evidence shows Chigozie, who was speeding on his bike, crashed into an iron railing and died of head injuries. He was not wearing a helmet. But his younger brother Nieskho claims he was murdered,” police said.

On Sunday evening, Chigozie, Nieskho and four other Nigerians partied at African Kitchen restaurant at Byrathi near Hennur.

“The six revellers quarrelled over sharing food and assaulted each other. Nieskho went to a nearby hospital to treat his injuries and Chigozie followed him on a bike. While returning from the hospital, Chigozie died,” police said.

But in another account given by BangaloreMirror, Chigozie’s brother, whose name was spelt as Nanso, claimed his brother was killed after an argument with other friends over Biafra.

Here is the report in the newspaper: A 33-year-old man from Nigeria was found dead under mysterious circumstances near Geddalahalli on Hennur Road in the early hours of Monday. The brother of the victim, identified as Chigozie, said he may have been murdered. Chigozie was found dead near the Railway bridge at Geddalahalli.

The victim, who came to India on a student visa, was doing some business in the city, according to police. The victim, along with his brother Nanso, is said to have partied with a group of friends at a house in Byrathi.

During the party, it is alleged that the brothers and their friends had an argument over a political development in their country. Police said both the brothers were allegedly beaten up.

Nonso, who had come in his car, drove to a nearby private hospital and is said to have taken treatment. Chigozie, who was returning home on his bike, was found dead near the railway bridge. “Nonso suspects that his brother could have been killed. However prima facie evidence suggests that the death could also be due to an accident. The victim could have skidded and fallen from the bike while riding home. It was raining heavily. But a murder case has been registered based on his brother’s complaint and investigations are on,” S Girish, DCP (North East) told BM.

The Kothanur police, investigating the case, said the group of friends who were partying were discussing the political turmoil back home over the formation of a separate state in Nigeria(Biafra)

The discussion led to assault and the brothers were badly beaten up.

They have taken this Biafra madness outside the shores of Nigeria just to display their stupidity,ignorance and arrogance.

Now someone have lost his life due to negligence;instead of addressing the issue of non usage of protective helmet while riding a motor bike,he wants to rope innocent Nigerians to the
death.

Ndi Ara!

toh, at 33 you are still arguing, and your brother too is arguing that you were killed by somebody when it is clear you had a accident. I blame KANU and ojunkwu for this. see how they have succeed in rendering your lives useless by poisoning your minds with they selfish interests.

Nigerian Journalism at its finest. He was found with head injuries and his motorcycle skidded off the road, all signs point to a road accident but because his brother alleges he was murdered with no evidence backing his claims it is titled "Nigerian killed in India over Biafra" to get more clicks and views.

Yes, I've read about this story.
He said he wants Biafra to become a reality and gave wonderful reasons he wants Biafra, the anti-Biafra northerners killed him.

Nnamdi cownu will soon leave his pigs and run abroad soon.

Make una still dey mumu dey shout Biafra upandan.

The truth is I have never heard any reasonable igbo person saying they support Biafra, from businessmen and women to the popular musicians and footballers, only the troublemakers and miscreants shout and make trouble everywhere.

They will soon see what they are looking for.
