About 60 Nigerian students studying at a private university, GD Goenka University, in India have fled their campus after they were allegedly beaten and abused on the football field and in their hostel. According to a Nigerian student, Khaleel, the trouble erupted on Friday, when the university decided to have both Indian and Nigerian students in one team. Despite that, a few Indian students entered the field and before anyone could realise a thing, someone hit our captain on the head with an iron rod. Khaleel alleged that a group of Indian students attacked them in the hostel the next day (Saturday). Indian students, on the other hand, alleged they were attacked by a group of Nigerians.
