S/Africa police allegedly suffocate Nigerian to death, abduct other

The South African police have been accused of killing a Nigerian living in the country while another Nigerian was also abducted in the country.

Ikechukwu Anyene, the president of Nigeria Union in South Africa, confirmed the death and abduction to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on telephone from Pretoria.

Anyene added that both incidents had been reported to the Nigerian Mission in the country.

He told NAN that one Victor Nnadi, a native of Orlu in Imo, was suffocated to death on Thursday December 22 by the Metropolitan Police in Cape Town while one Austin Agunwa, a native of Umuawulu, in Awka South local government area of Anambra, was abducted by unidentified persons at Rustenburg, North West Province on Dec. 24.

According to Anyene, an eye witnesses saw the police handcuff the victim and suffocated 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.

Speaking further, Anyene call on the federal government to prevail on the South African government to put measures in place to stop the wanton killing of Nigerians.

He also disclosed that Nigerians in the province in efforts to get to the root of the matter raised a search team which later found the abandoned car of the victim after a crash near a bridge

However, Anyene, noted that the vehicle had no blood stain.

“As we speak, we don’t know his whereabouts and nobody has claimed responsibility for his abduction.

“We have directed the union`s chapter in the area to report the incident to the police and open a case on the missing Nigerian,” he said.

On the other hand, Anyene disclosed that the union`s national body would work together with Nigeria’s High Commission to visit Rustenburg over the incident.

He however calls for calm, adding that the situation is being handled by the relevant Nigerian authority in South Africa.

“We have also advised our people to be calm and remain law abiding as the union and the Nigerian Mission are handling the situation,” he said.

Man's inhumanity to man.

Worst country to live in as far as Africa is concern is SA....They carry out extra judicial kilings of more Africans than other countries combine.

I pity black men. Love and progress are far from them

This people should know that there will be repercussions to this killings. The government of SA needs to take proactive steps to stop this. FG must convey a stern warning.

SA Police raided a home in SA and found drugs in the bathtub, the suspect jumped off a 7 storey building into the pool and escaped


They get to SA , start buying Benz SLS AMG , among other high end machines with proceeds from illicit trades
