A Nigerian has broken his hand and nose after he fell from the fifth floor in Malaysia while trying to evade Flora Damansara Apartment police on Friday.
The 30 year- old was among the 51 foreigners nabbed in the raid conducted by the police, following complaints by residents of illegal activities.
The raid which involved over 400 personnel from the police, Immigration department and Petaling Jaya Municipality Council had over ten persons testing positive for drugs.
The majority of the foreigners nabbed are from Nigeria, while others are from Nepal, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Kenya and Uganda.
Selangor CID, Cheif Senior Asst Comm Fadzil Ahmat said 171 foreigners were screened during the raid that lasted from 7pm to 11pm.
However, some residents have condemned the raid saying it was “unnecessarily heavy-handed.”
Frances Tan, 34, from Penang said the manner in which her Cameroonian husband of six years was hauled off, despite having proper travel documents, was too much.
“They took him away like a criminal in front of our two children.
“I told them that checking his documents is fine and there was no need to treat him like that but they refused to listen,” she said.
Tan said her husband, Ngan David Pagbe, 40, a professional basketball player in the Urban KL Basketball league was leaving the house for a match when he was detained.
