Nigerians Under Attack in South Africa: 1 Killed, 1 Kidnapped
The Nigerian
Union in South Africa (NUSA) has cried out on the fate of Nigerians under
attack in South Africa.
President of the
Union, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene told newsmen via a telephone call from Pretoria on
Sunday that two incidents have been reported to the Nigerian Mission in South
Africa.
According
to PM News, Anyene said one Victor Nnadi, a native of Orlu in Imo
state, was suffocated to death on Thursday by the Metropolitan Police in Cape
Town. He claimed that eye witnesses saw the police handcuff the victim and
suffocate him to death.
“When the people saw what happened, they raised an alarm and confronted the police.
“The union`s chapter in Cape Town is already on top of the situation and trying its best to facilitate the release of the detained brother of the deceased,” he said.
The union
president also cited another instance of an attack that occurred on December 24
in which one Austin Agunwa, a native of Umuawulu, in Awka South Local
Government Area of Anambra state, was abducted by unidentified persons at
Rustenburg, North West Province.
He said
Nigerians in the province raised a search team which later found the victim`s
car abandoned after a crash near a bridge.
Anyene, however,
said the vehicle had no blood stains and Agunwa’s whereabouts remained unknown.
The union has called on the Nigerian government to
persuade the South African government to put measures in place to stop the
attack on Nigerians in the rainbow nation.
