TVC E. An asylum seeker was reportedly attacked and beaten to death by a racist football fan in Italy
According to reports, Emmanuel Chidi Nnamdi had been trying to defend his 24-year-old wife Chinyere, when he met his untimely death.
He was attacked and left in a state of irreversible coma by a violent, racist football fan, in the city of Fermo, Italy.
The police, the unnamed football fan had first insulted Chinyere, calling her an ”African monkey,” which made her husband try to defend her, an act which resulted in his death.
Nnamdi had reportedly been beaten with a pole which his assailant pulled out from a road sign nearby.
According to the priest at the local Catholic mission where some asylum seekers like Nnamdi and his wife were staying, the 40-year-old football fan was a very notorious racist in the town.
Here’s what an anonymous source said: “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.” Nnamdi was said to have fled from Boko Haram violence in Nigeria, and had been at the bishop’s seminary since last year.
Eternal rest be granted and perpetual light shine upon him.
