A Nigerian man is currently standing trial before a Dubai Criminal Court after he got into a major fight with an Indian vendor- all over Dh45 (N2,200).
According to Emirates247, the disagreement happened over the price of a pair of sunglasses. The vendor wanted Dh45, but the Nigerian wanted to buy them for Dh10. In the ensuing fight, the Nigerian is accused of beating up the Indian .
Dubai Public Prosecution identified the Nigerian as APE, 32, and the victim as MTK, 24.
In his testimony, the Indian said he was told by the Nigerian:
“I am a strong African. I can beat you.”
Evidence in the case also includes a witness who works in the shop and a medical report, which states the Indian suffered a fracture on his left jaw.
