The Nollywood actor took to his Instagram page on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, to share a video of an attack on two Nigerian brothers, Endurance and Precious Amalawa in Delhi India, urging Nigerians to love one another and treat each other better.

In the lengthy post he shared alongside the video, Uti also circled around to the Nigerian government and our leaders, calling them out for their failings while listing the most pressing needs in the country.

The Amalawa brothers are only two of a number of African nationals who have been attacked in the country in what is presumed to be racixsm inclined following the death of an Indian teenager who reportedly overdosed on drugs.

According to BBC reports, the parents of the deceased blame Nigerians for their sons death as they believe that they are responsible for selling drugs to him.

The police has reportedly arrested five men in connection with the attack and hopefully, justice will be served.
