Hennur police have launched a manhunt for a Nigerian
man, identified only as Osas, for allegedly attacking 30-
year-old Ugandan national Shakira Nsonko on February
10, in Bengalulu, India.
Osas, it is alleged, attacked her with a knife at an
African eatery when she refused to pay for his drink.
Hennur police have taken up the case under Section 323
(punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and Section
324 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt using a
dangerous weapon) against Osas, a resident of
Kukkenahalli.
In her complaint, Shakira has stated that she was at
the mess with a friend, Gifletin, when Osas asked her
to buy him drinks.
When she refused, he abused and slapped her, she has
complained. To escape his continued assault, she
locked herself in a room and called a friend, Tony. That
did not deter Osas, who waited and slashed her with a
knife when she ventured out of the room.
Passports and other documents of the two are being
verified by the police. Consul of Rwanda, Mohan
Suresh, who visited Shakira Nsonko, told Bangalore
Mirror that he wanted to ascertain if she was from
Rwanda.
He said the two knew each other, and that she was an
illegal immigrant from Uganda.
Meanwhile, DCP Satish Kumar informed media that
Shakira initially claimed she was involved in an accident
in which she got hurt.
It was only after doctors at MS Ramaiah Hospital
informed the police that the wound could be the result
of stabbing that she revealed the stabbing.
