The Nigerian Citizens Association South Africa (NICASA), on Thursday, alleged that a Nigerian cleric, Bishop Taiwo Michael Fakunle, aged 58, an indigene of Iye, Ilejemeje Local Government Area of Ekiti State, has been brutally murdered in South Africa.

In a statement by its National President, Rev Frank Onyekwelu, NICASA said [b]Bishop Taiwo was brutally killed on Friday, 4 September 2026, at his residence in Kensington, Johannesburg, in circumstances that have left his family, friends and the Nigerian community devastated.


“According to the information available to NICASA, two suspects gained access to his residence and opened fire on him, reportedly discharging more than seven bullets.

“This was not merely an ordinary loss of life; it was a horrific and senseless act of violence that has robbed a family of a loved one and the Nigerian community of another precious life,” it said.

NICASA condemned what it described as a “barbaric killing” in the strongest possible terms, adding that the continued loss of Nigerian lives through violent crime “is deeply disturbing and cannot be allowed to become normal or treated as just another statistic. Every Nigerian life is valuable, and every murder deserves justice.”

He said NICASA had already brought the tragic incident to the attention of the Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg.

Rev Onyekwelu said that a murder case has been opened at Jeppe Police Station, and investigations are currently ongoing.

“We, therefore, make a strong and unequivocal call on the South African Police Service and every relevant government authority to pursue this matter with the highest level of urgency, professionalism and transparency.

“We demand a thorough and credible investigation that will establish exactly what happened, identify all those responsible, apprehend the perpetrators and ensure that they are brought before the courts to face the full might of the law,” he said.

NICASA further called on the Nigerian diplomatic authorities in South Africa to continue engaging the relevant South African authorities and to closely monitor the progress of the investigation until justice is served.

Oluwafemi Adeniyi, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, promised to get back to our reporter when contacted for a response but did not as of the time of filing the report.

I don't pity him


Those people have made it clear they don't want Nigerians in their country, y not leave?

Chai ! This is so unfortunate. Why didn’t he leave when they were asked to leave ? Na wa o

deadline gone, what is he doing there, fulanies need the gospel more for nigeria bushes

Normally, Nigeria ought to have declared full war against South Africa and invade the country so we can settle the scores once and for all.



If it were the ancient times, it doesnt matter, Nigeria will invade South Africa unannounced for real and take out thousands of them and start a full scale war that will make us respect each other at the end of the war, first and second world wars started almost like this....and many wars fought in the early years, thats why I love Europeans of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.


The life of one Nigerian is supposed to worth more than the lives of 1000 South Africans if I were the leader of Nigeria

May his soul rest in peace.

This is Ojukwu kind of thinking.

Will they also accuse him of doing drug?

Where are those self hating Nairalanders who always accuse fellow Nigerian victims murdered in SA of doing drugs?

I hope Chidinma is planning to leave.

Nigeria made a big mistake helping the South Africans in the early 90s. If nature can make one foresee what we become of someone you are about to help, you won't render that help.

But I still don't understand the kind of hustle that will make one to still live in the midst of enemies. Despite the xenophobic attack, some people still reside in Southy?

When we say there are yoruba people in south Africa they say it's a lie 🙄

Now just see . . .

South Africans don't like anyone but themselves... If you're a Nigerian it even makes it worse... When those criminals killed lucky dube the justification they gave was that they thought he was Nigerian... Like can u just imagine

Then some Nigerians also go there to make the hate worst by sleeping with south African wives and snatching their girls because u have small money

Now the apartheid justification given by the whites then is starting to make sense....

South Africans are crazy people. The good part is that they are still slaves and the white man still controlles the bigger lot. Lol

Hmm.. So bad. South Africa is always killing people.

Why is SA like this?

We shouldn't be like this as Africans!

At this point, any foreigner caught up in the brutality of South Africans have only themselves to blame. Those uneducated imbeciles have made it clear they don't want you in their country.

Dem no dey push ship for water o. The small gongoni wey our navy dey manage no dey travel far. Besides South Africa is not our mate militarily. They'll wipe out all our soldiers in minutes.

E be like say hangover dey worry you for you to think this kind thing this morning.

If this happened in Nigeria then Peter Obi and his supporters will say it is the religious war they are talking about because of muslim muslim ticket of APC instead to condemning the criminal act they will turn it to campaign material because all they want is for Peter Obi to be president of Christians and divide Nigeria along religious line first then tribal line just as IPOB wants. Peter Obi is actually a candidate of IPOB but pretending to be a political party candidate after all he said he didn't see any reason why IPOB should be condemned that they didn't do anything wrong and he has not denied calling the 2023 general election a religious war.
