The Nigerian community in South Africa has again been thrown into mourning with Sunday’s killing of a member, Emeka Uzor.
The Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA), the umbrella body of Nigerians living in that country, said this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Monday.
The union said the deceased was fatally shot at about 3. pm at a Carltex Garage in Windsor East, Randburg, Johannesburg.
It said Uzor, who hailed from Nkerefi in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, was killed in a suspected incident of assassination while in his vehicle.
The union said the latest incident represented a troubling pattern of brutal violence against Nigerian nationals in South Africa.
NUSA challenged the South African government, particularly the Minister of Police and the National Commissioner of the South African Police Service, to conduct a thorough, transparent, and impartial investigation into the incident.
