to school today, because their car was smashed in broad daylight.
The Nigerian students were accused of killing and eating a class 12
student, who had gone missing. A mob also raided their fridge to find
evidence.
The Telegraph reports that though they failed to find any, local TV
channels reported it as a case of cannibalism. The Nigerians, students
of Noida International University, were
taken into ‘protective custody’ by police.
The incident occurred at NSG Black Cat Enclave on Friday night. A
19-year-old student Manish Kumar had earlier gone missing, triggering
wild speculation that he had been eaten by the students.
The police rushed to the enclave after the refrigerator raid, and took
the suspects to custody. Manish was later found lying in a nearby park
on Saturday morning ,and passed away in a private hospital later. .

cause of his death, his family have registered a case of abduction and
murder against the Nigerian students.

them into custody again. They later handed over the students to an
African student association, which has moved them to an undisclosed
location.

Saturday against the detention of students. A local resident also
alleged that the Africans, may have eaten up the two dogs that have gone
missing in the area.
