| Onochie Martins Nwanko |
A
35-year-old Nigerian student who tried to rape a woman died after he was
allegedly assaulted by Rela personnel (Paramilitary).
It
is believed that Onochie Martins Nwanko, who was due to get married next week,
had tried to rape a cleaner at the 15th floor of a condominium in Batu 9,
Kajang, at 11.30am yesterday [Mar 31].
Apparently, he had hugged and kissed her and
even showed his private parts to her.
Kajang
OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab said
the 43-year-old cleaner became terrified and managed to escape. She immediately
alerted the management of the condominium and asked for help.
He
said the management sent seven Rela personnel to Block C of the condominium
where they found the cleaner running towards them.
Barely
minutes later, the Nigerian man came down to the ground floor as well. They
caught him and beat him before tying him up and informing the police.
“When
we arrived, we found him motionless”, ACP Abdul
Rashid said, adding that police rushed him to a nearby clinic where he was
pronounced dead.
He
said police had detained seven Rela personnel for questioning.
Steven Ng, 38, a resident, claimed that the
condominium dwellers were unhappy that the management had placed Rela staff
there to look after security. The personnel had been rude, he claimed.
Another
Nigerian student, Micah Chinedu, 34,
accused the Rela staff of always “harassing” the Nigerians who were
staying there.
The five RELA members who allegedly beat Onochie Martins to death have since been
detained, assisting police in their investigations.
BLOGGER'S REACTION
The blogger wonder what the Nigerian
government and the embassy in Malaysia will do about this. This guy was beaten
to death just because somebody accused him of an attempted rape. Yes, I understand
that Nigerians have made themselves personae non gratae in Malaysia as it is
the norm everywhere we are but to kill a budding young man without even a day
in court is something I deeply cannot comprehend.
For God’s sake, who was there when
he brought out and shows his private part to the 43 years old accuser? And for
the newspaper (Malaysian Star) to use the words “apparently”? What happened to
fairness and balance in news reporting?
