Emmanuel Chidi, 36, was
walking with his girlfriend in the heart of the small town of Paolo Calcinora
on Tuesday, when they had racial abuse heaped on them by the supporter of a
local football club, the Agi news agency reported.
Nigerian migrant was beaten
to death in a racist attack by a right-wing football fan in a central Italian
town, officials said Wednesday.
That led to an altercation
and Chidi was brutally beaten on the head until he fell to the ground. He never
recovered consciousness and died in hospital on Wednesday.
“As mayor of a town that is
welcoming and open to integration, I feel I’m living in a nightmare,” the
town’s mayor said.
Chidi had been living in
the area for eight months and was lodged in a shelter run by Catholic charity
Caritas.
His girlfriend had lost her
baby after a perilous Mediterranean crossing.
Hundreds of migrants arrive
daily in Italy. The Italian interior ministry said last week that a total of
70,930 people landed between January and June — almost exactly the same number
as the same period in 2015 and only slightly higher than in 2014.
The full-year total of
migrant arrivals for 2015 was 153,000.
