Ofor’s death is coming barely two months after a 43-year-old Nigerian, Leohand Lyeanyi, died following an alleged assault by some police officials in West Delhi's Tilak Nagar, India.

An eyewitness had claimed Lyeanyi died because of a Lathi injury inflicted on him by police personnel. 

Commonly used in South Asia, Lathi is a long, heavy iron-bound bamboo stick used as a weapon, especially by the police.
