According to reports, Nigerian students were allegedly attacked at GD Goenka University in Gurgaon near Delhi. After the incident, about 50-60 Nigerian students have left the campus "temporarily" after tensions flared between student groups during a football match. As per reports, the attack took place on Saturday, during a football match between African and Indian students. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission took to Twitter and said, "The Nigerian mission immediately took custody of 86 Nigerian students,invited the representatives of the Indian govt, got their commitment to ensure safety of the students who then returned back to campus on Sunday." She also said that the Nigerian mission has made it clear that the Indian authorities would be held responsible if anything happens to any of the students. Reports also suggest that the "temporary" of Nigerian students to leave comes nearly a month after a group of Indian students staged a protest against them for offering prayers on the football ground.
