Goa: Jailed Nigerians withdraw hunger strike

November 09, 2013 11:29

Three Nigerians, who were on a hunger strike in a jail here demanding their statements be recorded by Goa human rights panel, have ended their fast.

The strike was withdrawn last night after Goa Human Rights Commission members met them at Aguada Central Jail and recorded their statements, prison sources said today. However, it was not clear in what regard they gave their statements.

Anane Innocent, Olcoro Ndidi and Sunday Onye, who were amongst the 52 Nigerians arrested by police for blocking a highway in Goa and creating ruckus last week over a murder, were not eating food since Thursday, the sources said.
