46-year-old Pius Ezekwem, a Nigerian businessman residing in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa has been killed.

According to reports, Pius who ran a chain of bed and breakfast guest houses, was picked up by eight police officers at a Nigerian eatery last weekend and was forcefully taken to his home for a search and interrogation.

An argument between Pius and the South African police officers degenerated so fast that a gun shot was fired, leading to Pius' death. Pius was married to a South African who was present at the scene of the incident. He reportedly asked the policemen to kill him in his house as he would not follow them to where they wanted to take him to. Sadly, the policemen allegedly killed him in the presence of his family.

All phones were seized except that of Pius' sister in-law who recorded his altercation with the police.

Confirming the incident, the Nigerian Ambassador to South Africa, Godwin Adama, said a formal report has been launched to the South African police on the incident.

An autopsy has been carried out but the result has not been released.

Not one of the police officers have been arrested.

Biafrans sir. Biafrans.

hollah123:
South Africa is safe for Nigerians who live legit, y is the killing always from a particular tribe? If Americans decide to execute the 76 scammers I know their kinsmen will come here n start shouting xenophobia without knowing their offence.

GeoAfrikana:


Are you sure? So why do they carry guns? Perhaps to romance culprits.

They have the right to shoot under circumstances. Their guns are not just for show-off. However, there are codes of conduct that bind their usage of the gun on suspects.

So we need to be sure wether the policemen violated the code of conduct or not.

Basher8583:


Nopes Biafrans are the ones being killed.
South Africans already know how to identify different tribes in Nigeria. One told me categorically that he hates the Igbos and Thier show off in SA. That's how I knew they can identify the Igbos out of every other Nigerians

Dagger79:

Even the Nigerians in 9ja that are killed everyday by the police, herdsmen, sars, boko boys are not being handled by the government na nigerian way die for outside government go intervene what a suffer......

eddieguru:
that's true, but it's nearly impossible to differentiate an akwa ibom man from an Igbo facially

Litmus1:
How many more Nigerians should we lose before our government sends a strong message to the government of SA. This is disheartening!!

Antipob777:
