Panaji, Nov 6 (PTI): The police is continuing its crackdown on Nigerians staying illegally in Goa. This came after more than 200 Nigerians demonstrated on the streets of Goa last week to protest the murder of a fellow Nigerian.
"The state government will withdraw minor cases against the Nigerians and begin process to deport them," Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told reporters on Monday. He said cases related to minor offence (against Nigerians) in various courts would also be reviewed.
Those Nigerians who are undergoing imprisonment will continue to be in jail and will have to complete their sentence, he said. The state police have also begun an extensive crackdown on Nigerians living in Goa.
