Chidi Nnamdi, a Nigerian residing in Italy was beaten to
death by a 40-year-old violent football fan while trying to defend his 24 year
old wife, Chinyere who was being insulted and called ‘’Africa
monkey’’ by the
football fan. He was beaten with a ripped out road sign pole and left in a
state of irreversible coma in the city of Fermo.
Nnamdi reportedly died yesterday from the attack. The
couple had been at the bishop’s seminary since last year, after fleeing Boko
Haram violence in the North East Nigeria. Meanwhile, the police have arrested
the culprit.
According to a source: “A few asylum seekers were hosted at the local
Catholic mission, and apparently that town and that area is not new to episodes
of intolerance and racism. The guy who is allegedly responsible is notorious in town
for his racist views. According to the local priest who hosts the refugees, he
calls every African a monkey. It is shameful that this has happened in my
country."
