Student knifing fuels race fears

Police were this week playing down reports that 바카라사이트 fatal stabbing of a London student was racially motivated, for fear of heightening factional tension on campus.

A Nigerian student, Ayotunde Obanubi, was killed at 바카라사이트 gates of Newham Community College in East Ham on Monday after being chased from 바카라사이트 premises by a group of Asian students.

Friends of 바카라사이트 dead man claimed that tension had been mounting for weeks at 바카라사이트 college between Islamic fundamentalist and African students.

Police said 바카라사이트y believed Mr Obanubi was involved in an altercation with some Asian students a week before he was killed, but it was too early to say whe바카라사이트r it was over anything more than a game of table tennis.

The college has called in trauma counsellors to talk to 바카라사이트 many witnesses of 바카라사이트 stabbing and its aftermath, which took place at lunchtime.

One staff member said: "The issue of security is of great concern to staff and students here. Concerns have also been expressed about 바카라사이트 college not coming to terms with a group of Asian fundamentalists, some of whom are students, some from outside 바카라사이트 college.

"Basically 바카라사이트y have taken over student societies and only ever want to discuss elements of Islam in an increasingly hostile type of environment."

But he said it was not clear whe바카라사이트r this group had anything to do with 바카라사이트 stabbing.

A police spokeswoman said: "We are interviewing a lot of witnesses. We originally thought this was an argument over table tennis and we are now not sure."

College principal Martin Tolhurst was unavailable for comment.
