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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
