Onyewekeluwho stated these in an interview with Punch, said killings of Nigerians by the South Africans had become rampant and that nothing seemed to be happening about it :

“Let me mention just a few. Last week, a young Nigerian man was buried in Cape Town. He was arrested by the police authorities. He died in the holding cell due to the injuries inflicted on him by the police.

“Earlier this year in May, I drove to Northern Cape, another province in South Africa, which required a six-hour drive to report a case to the commissioner of police.

“The case was about police officers who searched his house and suffocated him while trying to search his house. He died in the hands of the police. There was an autopsy report and they refused to give it to us”.

Asked about the most recent such death, that of, Mr Julius Chukwunta, he narrated:

Mr Chukwunta was a Nigerian national who lived in an area called Midrand in Johannesburg.

“The unfortunate incident that led to his death happened on December 7, 2024.

“Based on the information we received from his partner, he was coming back from work with his partner.

“They already drove inside the complex when some guys blocked the entrance.

“He told them to move their vehicle so that he could have access to the parking lot. They refused, and that led to an exchange of words.

“When he saw that they remained adamant, he walked towards the estate security post to lodge a complaint.

“As he walked in that direction, the four guys followed him. They stopped him and a fight started. The four guys pounced on him.

“They inflicted heavy injuries on him. When his partner, who was waiting in the car for him, did not see him, she walked towards the security post and saw him on the ground, bleeding.

“She started calling for help but nobody came. This was for almost an hour, according to her. When there was no help from passersby, she called her father on the phone. Her father came to the scene of the incident.

“That was how they rushed Mr Chukuwnta to the general hospital on Saturday. He died on Tuesday which was December 10”.

According to him, the man died as a result of loss of blood because of the heavy injuries on his skull. Unfortunately he said, these Nigerians died without getting justice?
