The post-mortem of the Nigerian man, Ifeanyi
Nduka, who died under mysterious circumstances recently, was conducted
at Bowring Hospital India on Saturday, March 25th, after the Airport
Traffic police received a no objection certificate from the Nigerian
Embassy.
While the police say that Nduka a.k.a Nwa Jesus died because of a
motor accident, several organisations representing people from
countries in Africa residing in Bengaluru, allege that he was a victim
of police brutality.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Traffic Renuka K. Sukumar, who
is heading the investigation, said that they are awaiting for the
post-mortem report, which will shed some light on how Ifeanyi died.
The post-mortem was conducted before two government officials and a
representative of the Nigerian Community Association along with police
officers as witnesses.
The Nigerian Community Association, which has obtained a police
clearance to claim the body, will consult with FRRO and the Nigerian
Embassy over performing the last rites. It is yet to be decided
whether Ifeanyi will buried here or taken back to his home country.
Meanwhile, the police are yet to identify the rider who fled the scene
after the incident.
