Photo of a Nigerian killed in South Africa, Samuel Nkennaya, has emerged
Samuel was reportedly accused of kidnapping a girl, who happened to be his daughter. He was mobbed by the members of the community who couldn’t wait to confirm the real identity of the young girl, who reportedly couldn’t is not old enough to identify herself.
According to a statement by the Secretary of Mpumalanga Province branch of the Nigerian Union in South Africa (NUSA), Victor Ayanfe-Oyebanjo, Nkennaya and his friend Nwudo were attacked following accusations that both men kidnapped the 6-year-old girl identified as Chinonye.
Ayanfe-Oyebanjo said trouble started when Nwudo took his six-year-old daughter, Chinonye, to visit Nkennaya at White River town in the evening of April 27. Later, Nwudo and Nkennaya proceeded to buy food for Nwudo’s daughter, Chinonye, at KFC restaurant in the area. Shortly after buying the food, some bystanders raised false alarm alleging that both men kidnapped the six-year-old girl.
The statement added that the police later intervened and called for backup to rescue the victims. Nkennaya died at the hospital on Sunday April 28th while Nwudo is in critical health condition.
While sharing a photo of Samuel with friends, a Nigerian man based in Mpulanga said the mob only had to wait for confirmation of the men’s claims rather than mob them.
South Africanns are doing theses intentionally,
How can you just see someone with a child and concluded that he kidnapped her.
Buhari should look into this because we can’t continue to be treated like this in SA
They are simply jealous of the success of Nogerians in their country
Lord have mercy
And what has Buhari done about it?
The guy is familiar, I think we’re crossed path before
Rip
This is too bad
When will all these killings stop?. God we’re in your hands
They simply want Nigerians out of their country
And that ends the life of this promising young man.. So sad
