NUSA Demands Investigation into Nigerian's Death in South Africa

The Nigerian Union in South Africa (NUSA) has called for an immediate and independent investigation into the death of Christian Hilary Nnaemeka, a 34-year-old Nigerian, following an alleged attack involving television personality Xolani Khumalo and his Sizokthola crew in Johannesburg. The incident reportedly occurred around 8 pm on a Monday near Willow and Filbert Streets, Primrose.

Nnaemeka, who was from Enugu-Ezike in the Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State, was a husband and father to a three-year-old son. NUSA's statement, signed by George O.

Sylvester, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President-General, demands answers regarding the circumstances of Nnaemeka's death, including the reasons for the attack and the identities of those responsible. The union insists on accountability and urges South African authorities to ensure justice, emphasizing that no allegations of criminality should justify taking a life.

NUSA plans to engage with South African authorities and the Nigerian diplomatic mission to pursue the matter.
