A Nigerian man named Uju Pious Ejikeonye a student of City University Kuala Lumpur West in Malaysia has dared death by jumping off a 13 storey building in a bid to escape Malaysian immigration arrest.

The man was said to have heard noise from the invading Malaysian immigrations and decided to find an escape route which provided no other option than jumping through his room’s window out from the 13th floor of the condominium where he was sharing apartment with other students.

His shattered remains have been gathered by Malaysian authorities and taken to a nearby hospital pending further investigation and autopsy.

From 9News Nigeria record, this has been a second incident in a week of Nigerian living in Malaysia jumping off a skyscraper in a bid to escape Malaysian immigration arrest. Just two days ago, another Nigerian was reported to have jumped off from 7th Floor of a skyscraper apartment thereby sustaining serious injuries that finally led to his death.

Malaysian authorities have in recent time embarked on incessant intrusive attacks on foreigners especially Africans living in Malaysia. They would invade their homes at wee hours and demand for resident permits and sometimes carry out unnecessary investigations on some of these foreigners leading to arrests and subsequent back-door settlements.
