Emmanuel Chidi Nnamdi and his wife Chinyere
Hundreds of people turned out on Sunday to mourn the killing of Emmanuel Chidi Nnamdi, 36, at his funeral.
The man was brutally murdered by a White racist farmer,
Amedeo Mancini during a fight in the town on Tuesday which broke out
after Mancini called Nnamdi’s wife Chinyere an “African monkey”.
According to AFP, Nnamdi, died in hospital after the attack. “He came to live in peace, he found death”,
read one of the many messages left with flowers for Emmanuel Chidi
Nnamdi, whose widow, dressed in all white, sat near his rose-topped
coffin in the cathedral of Fermo in central Italy.
The funeral was attended by parliamentary relations minister Maria
Elena Boschi and the president of the lower house of parliament, Laura
Boldrini.
The couple had been housed in a shelter run by Catholic
organization Caritas after they fled Nigeria last year after an attack
on a church by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram in which their
two-year-old son and other members of their families were killed.
