Nigerian wanted in riot case held
The Delhi Police have arrested a 27-year-old Nigerian national wanted in a 2021 attempt to murder and rioting case in Dwarka here, an official said on Tuesday.
The accused, identified as Augustine Ohe Chukwu, was absconding for the past four years after being released on bail, he said.
On September 26, 2021, a violent mob, including 50 to 60 Nigerian nationals, gathered at Tarak Hospital in Dwarka More following the death of another Nigerian national. The mob later moved towards the Mohan Garden police station, vandalised property and attacked police personnel using bricks, rods and sticks.
The police resorted to aerial firing to disperse the rioters. Three police personnel were seriously injured in the attack, he said. A case was registered.
