The Nigerian Union in South
Africa (NUSA) says a Nigerian entrepreneur has been killed in the country over
an alleged business disagreement with a client.
Sylvester Okonkwo, acting
chairman of NUSA in the Kwazulu Natal province, said Ikenna Otugo, the
deceased, was killed at Empangeni, in the province, on Tuesday.
Speaking with NAN in a telephone
conversation on Wednesday, Okonkwo said the 41-year-old native of Nimo in
Njikoka local government area of Anambra state, was stabbed to death by unknown assailants.
He said Otugo had repaired a
cellphone for a female client in the area, but that she was not satisfied with
the work done by the deceased.
According to the acting chairman,
the client brought some men who allegedly stabbed the victim.
“Otugo died on the way to the
hospital following the stabbing. We have reported the incident to the police
and national secretariat of our union, NUSA,’’ he said.
“His (Otugo’s) body is now in the
mortuary awaiting autopsy.’’
Okonkwo said the deceased is
survived by a nine-year-old son.
Adetola Olubajo, president of
NUSA, confirmed the incident, saying the national secretariat had been
informed.
At least 490 Nigerians have fled
South Africa over xenophobia attacks.
President Muhammadu Buhari and
President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa had met to renew alliance and to seek
ways of putting an end to the attacks.
