Four Nigerian students were attacked in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, bordering Delhi, by residents who had taken out a candle-light march for a 17-year-old boy who died last week of suspected drug overdose. The residents accuse some African students of having given Manish the drugs. “In Greater Noida, they (locals) say that Africans 'we don't want you to be here anymore'. Africans are not secure in this country,” Samuel Jack, president of the Association of African Students in India, said. Uttar Pradesh’s health minister, Siddharth Nath Singh, said the attack on the Nigerians is a serious issue and a serious offence.
