Two Nigerians, Chukwudi Okafor, 31, and Samuel Eze, 34, who are living in India, have been arrested for allegedly beating their friend, Emeka Christian, to death following a dispute over a woman in Pune, India. The victim objected to this, which led to a quarrel,” a police source told India Today. “What began as a verbal dispute turned into a fatal assault,” Senior Police Inspector Mansing Patil told India Today. This is not the first time Nigerians have been arrested for alleged murder in India. In 2025, the police arrested two Nigerians, Ayoola Babajide and Oghene Igere, over the alleged killing of their friend, also a Nigerian, Lucky Ikechukwu Ijeh.
