Another Nigerian , Maxwell Ikechuku Okoye, from Oji River Local Government Area of Enugu State, has been allegedly killed by members of the South African Police Service.

The Vice-President, Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr Joshua Ogade Itua, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on telephone from Pretoria that Okoye was allegedly tortured to death on Friday in Ladysmith, Kwa-zulu-Natal Province.

The Police, according to the Chairman of Nigerian Union South Africa, Ladysmith Chapter, went to the apartment of the deceased and forced their way in.

“While they were with him, he called to alert other Nigerians but before they could get to his apartment the police had made away with his body. Maxwell’s lifeless body was later seen at the mortuary,” he said.

Itua said that NUSA leaders then went to the police for fact- finding, noting that his death has added to the number of Nigerians that were killed either by the Police or through Xenophobia in that country.

“The Station Commander of Ladysmith claimed that he was met foaming at the time they gained entry to his apartment.

“Police murder inquest has been opened and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) in Kwa-zulu-Natal province have been informed for full investigation.

“Our condolence to his family and Nigerian Community in Ladysmith. We call on our government to seriously engage its counterparts in South Africa for investigation and prosecution if not a natural death.

“This is because, according to our leaders who went to the mortuary, there are bruises and blood all over his body so we have every reason to believe that he was tortured to death.

“Our stand as foremost Nigerian organisation in South Africa is that all cases involving the killings of Nigerians should be investigated and prosecuted irrespective the nationality and status of the perpetrators,” he told NAN.

Maxwell was born on October 5, 1979 and is survived by two children.

I wonder, what da hell was he doing living in kwazulu natal? those isolated areas are full with bigoted Drug Addicted, Alchoholics and illiterate Zulus.

He might aswell have lived in Soweto.

Even though I've never liked Buhari since inception but I think it's high time he uses his influence to curb this menace of xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in diaspora. I believe no action no Matter how drastic is too much as long as he does it to protect the Lives of Nigerians both at home and abroad. Even if it comes to freezing our diplomatic ties with SA I'm with him 100%

I'd really not jump into conclusion to condemn the south africans on this issue cos I know what our Nigerian Bia-furo brothers from the east are capable of. He's probably just another drug dealer apprehended by the SA police.
