A violent protest by hundreds of people has trailed the death of a Nigerian in police custody in China’s southern city of Guangzhou.
According to agency reports, the police said in an online statement that the man was detained after he fought with the driver of an electric bicycle over a fare on Monday. He later fell unconscious in custody, and died despite efforts to revive him.
The statement said authorities were investigating the death of the unnamed man.
Reports say around 500 protesters threw rocks at police vehicles and private cars, after authorities did not allow the Nigerian victim’s family to see the body.
Meanwhile, Italy’s embassy in Abuja yesterday said there would be no further comments on the circumstances surrounding the death of an Italian national while under the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Mauro Zanin, a suspected fraudster, is thought by the commission to have committed suicide.
