Despite effort by both Nigeria and South Africa to end Xenophobia in the Southern African country, the Nigerian community in South Africa has confirmed the killing of one of its members, Ikenna Innocent Otugo.
He said that Otugo, 41, and a native of Nimo in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, was allegedly stabbed to death by unknown assailants over a business disagreement.
Okonkwo told NAN on telephone from Empangeni that Otugo had repaired a cellphone for a client in the area.
He said that information made available to the union indicated that the female client was not satisfied with the work done by Otugo.
Okonkwo said that the client brought some men who allegedly stabbed the victim.
He said,
“His (Otugo’s) body is now in the mortuary awaiting autopsy.”
Contacted, Mr Adetola Olubajo, President of NUSA, said that the national secretariat had been informed about the incident.
