A Nigerian migrant in Germany says he is being stopped by Police 'on every corner'

Germans are worried about the number of asylum
seekers who have been allowed into the country
following incidents of sexual assaults and
muggings in Cologne New Year's Eve and at the
city's ongoing annual festival which were mostly
blamed on migrants who "looked like they were
from north Africa" .

22-year-old Nigerian Fidelis is among more than a
million migrants who arrived in Germany in 2015.

According to BBC, he fled fighting in Libya and
travelled to Italy before making his way to Germany
nine months ago.
Fidelis told the BBC Newsbeat that he was stopped
"on every corner" on the opening night of Cologne's
annual carnival.
"I am very worried. Police have been checking my
papers. They've asked me Where are you from? Are
you from Africa? Can I see you papers? I'm very
embarrassed"
There were protests all over Cologne in January and
German Chancellor Angela Merkel made it easier to
make asylum seekers who commit crimes leave the
country. Thirty-five suspects are being investigated
over the attacks with two men - a Tunisian and a
Moroccan - charged.
Fideleis who worked at a bar in Libya, says he
loves living in Germany but when he heard what
happened on New Year's Eve - he knew people
would treat him differently.
"I was praying to my god. I watched it on the TV
station. It was like something I couldn't expect was
happening by some people who I don't know. I
don't know who these people are."
He thinks people should be more open minded.

"Africans are all different. You see white [people] in
Africa you see black [people]. People need to see this"
