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.

Tribalism has made some people to move around without empathy

RIP

These days i am so slow in reacting to news of xenophobia, with many atrocities linked abroad to some people

..

South africa is not just safe.. Nigerians should just come back home or go and hustle in another country..

Sad

As much as I feel bad for the death of this man, I still believe that we need to know the details of what led to the gunshot.



Any conclusion made with the above news is a hasty conclusion.

Hiaa...must these people in Other countries intimidate us (Nigerians) anyhow?

Na wetin we even do dem nii

Well, may his soul rest in peace

And someone dey shine for Tokyo naw

Looks like it's an open season on Nigerians.

I don't know Who Abike is, but if he or she is the Nigerian ambassador to SA, then you must be lacking social education





One thing I learned this morning, Nigeria Police Force might not be the worst Police in this world

what's even more annoying is the fact that some Nigerians are still traveling there
immediately they started this xenophobic something, i booked the next flight to Nigeria straight

Violence everywhere not just in naija alone.....

Humans! We are our worse enemies

May God almighty give the family of these man the fortitude and grace to move on.

Since they found out we have no government

Why won't they kill more

Nigerians who want to hustle Legit they wont allow them, the ones who don't they wont still allow them.

Later these people would say Nigerians are bad.

MTN NIGERIA una cup just dae increase, e go soon full

Igbos Criminal drug business is the main cause. How can you refuse to follow an agent of the law?

Anyway R.I.P. to the dead

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

if the man was guilty RIP to him by if he's not and you brand him a criminal and a drug dealer may his kind of death be your portion.

The South East should protest against this killings bye shutting down most of the South African investment in there area because most this guy's killed are igbos. not looking for buhari in Japan.

This is becoming worrisome.
The presidency need to act fast.
