#JusticeForAlikaOgorchukwu: Nigerians in Italy stage protest, demand justice for Nigerian businessman be@ten to de@th by an Italian man.
It was gathered that the unfortunate incident occurred on Friday afternoon, July 29, 2022 on a busy street, in an apparent dispute over a woman.
The attack occured in front of shocked onlookers, some of whom made videos with little or no attempt to prevent it.
According to reports, Alika was selling tissues and small accessories at about 2 p.m. local time on the city’s main street when his attacker grabbed a crutch the vendor used to walk and struck him down, police said.
ABC News reports that the victim had asked the attacker’s girlfriend to buy his scarves or give him change. Video footage of the attack shows the assailant then wrestling the victim to the pavement as the victim fought back.
Eventually, Alika was subdued by the weight of his attacker. Although no passerby tried to physically intervene, the police were called and tried to administer aid to the victim, police chief Matteo Luconi told Italian news channel Sky TG24.
Police used street cameras to track the assailant’s movements and later detained a man identified as Filippo F., 32. He is being held on suspicion of murder and theft after being accused of stealing the victim’s phone, as well.
Filippo’s girlfriend told the police that her partner had lost his temper because the seller was insistent that they buy something.
