Locals people were said to have brutally beaten up two Nigerians protesting on the road, who were admitted to the district hospital. Locals who assaulted the Nigerians would also be booked, the assured.

India is also a third world country. What are Nigerians doing there? They will kill the rest of them the same way if they don't leave. India is a useless country. They have no justice and they are killing their female children to control their population.
