Nigerians are angry over the Goan police's handling of the death of a Nigerian last week at Mapusa near Panaji.
Nigeria has sent a note verbale to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs protesting the death, demanding that the five culprits who killed the Nigerian be arrested by Goan police.
The death was the fallout of a feud between two gangs engaged in drug trafficking.
In Panaji, Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar said, all Nigerian nationals are not being deported. "Nigerians need not worry. Only those who are overstaying and do not have legal documents will be deported.
Parrikar said, there had been a tremendous upsure in drug trafficking in Goa during the last five years and even the state Home Minister's son was found indulging in the illegal trade.
