Another Nigerian allegedly shot dead in South Africa

According to reports coming from South Africa, there has been another killing of a Nigerian in the country. The man identified as Martin Ebuzoeme, was allegedly shot dead by unknown assailant.


The President of Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr. Adetola Olubola, confirmed to the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Sunday, that the victim was killed in Yeoville, Johannesburg, around 7:30pm on July 12.

The killing came barely 24 hours after the visit of South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa, to Nigeria.

Ramaphosa had during his visit on July 11 said that the killing of Nigerians and other foreign nationals in the country was an act of criminality, not specifically targeted at Nigerians.

”The killings are caused by high level of unemployment among the youth as well as other social factors emanating from long apartheid misrule.

”Government is however, doing all best possible to bring it down,” Ramaphosa had said.

The Nigeria Consul General in Johannesburg, Mr Godwin Adama, said that latest killing did not have anything to do with xenophobic attacks.

Adama told the reporters on phone from Johannesburg that the killing happened in a crime invested area of the country.

”The man was killed by unknown gunmen and has nothing to do with xenophobic.

“The place is a crime prone area and those kind of assassinations happened often in that area.

”There is no investigation that showed that it was xenophobic.

”Within a year here, we have about 16,000 murders which do not necessarily have anything to do with any national of a particular country,” he said.

The killing of Nigerians in South Africa had been on the increase in recent times.

Before the latest one, there was the assassination of Mr Ozumba Tochukwu-Lawrence, by an unknown gunman at 10 Koppe, Middleburg, Mpumalanga, South Africa, on July 6.

Another Nigerian, ThankGod Okoro, was also reportedly shot dead in Hamburg, Florida West Rand, Johannesburg, on April 9 by the South African Police Flying Squad.

There was also the killing of Clement Nwaogu in April, a father of two, who was burnt to death by his assailant.

The wanton killings of Nigerians in South Africa had sparked a number of protests there.

For demanding justice on behalf of their fallen compatriots, 14 of the protesters were taken into custody and branded drug peddlers.

hope somebody will demand justice for the victims of the Fulani herdsmen mayhem.

Nigerians please help yourself and leave these guys... Stop dying cheapishly. Haba!

You die in Nigeria and die abroad free of charge!

Boys in pursuit of quick money dying anyhow in south Africa.

Sell drug to someone after payment the person will trail the seller kill him and collect back his money.

Two will commit crime, and one will kill His partner in order to pocket the proceed alone. This is what our boys go through in south Africa.

May his soul rest in peace !

Seeing all this happening, one mr. Chukwuka will still want to hustle before realizing what is going on. Even before he does, he would've been killed.

This is getting too much.
Come back to your country

Wait oo izit until they kill all the nigerians there before the nigerian government will do anything??

.........Gone wrong

Very sad one. What will a "giant of Africa citizen" be doing in South Africa in the first place let alone getting killed there so cheaply, if not for the bad leaderships from time immemorial.

What are they coming to do in your shithole?

Why is it that it is only Igbos that are been killed in South Africa, igbos should learn how to live in peace with their host communities, South Africa is not Lagos where you disrespect the natives and go scot-free.
