There were reports on social media that some students of Nigerian origin are being attacked at the GD Goenka University in Gurugam, India.

Commenting on one of the viral videos via her Twitter handle, the NIDCOM boss explained that the incident happened on Saturday, October 15, 2022, following a football match between African and Indian students.

She said. “This happened Sat (Saturday) as a result of a fracas, during a football match between African and Indian students. The Nigerian Mission immediately took custody of 86 Nigerian students, invited the representatives of the Indian government, and got their commitment to ensuring the safety of the students who then returned back to campus on Sunday.”

She, therefore called for calm, saying normalcy has been restored.

Responding to Dabiri’s tweet, a tweep, @sensegiver1, verbally abused Abike, describing her as a ‘mumu woman’.

‘Mumu’ is a Pidgin English for a foolish person.

The tweep wrote: “She should go to Indonesia and see how Nigerians are treated. Mumu woman supporting a failed government. She’s equally part of the failure. Eye service!”

Quoting the troll’s tweet, Abike Dabiri said, “Ode! You go to Indonesia, carry drugs, do cultism and come begging to be rescued from death sentence . Thank God for
@ndlea_nigeria now saving people like you from death row”

The exchange has since garnered different reactions from a cross-section of Nigerians.
