The Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA) says it has lost another Nigerian to attack in South Africa.
NUSA spokesman, Odefa Ikele, told newsmen on Monday that Chikamso Ufordi was killed by unknown gunmen on October 26 in Nigel.
Nigel is a small gold mining town in Gauteng Province, East Rand near Johannesburg.
Mr Ikele said two other Nigerians who were with Mr Ufordi were injured in the attack.
The deceased, he said, was a native of Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State.
“One of the witnesses informed us that the deceased, Mr Chikamso Ufordi, from Awgu LGA Enugu State was trailed by some unknown gunmen, and was shot point-blank while in his car with two other Nigerian friends,” he said.
“His friends also sustained injuries, but the late Chikamso died immediately before help could arrive from the province’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team.
“The injured were rushed to the nearest hospital. A case of murder and attempted murder have already been opened at Nigel Police Cluster.”
Three Nigerians had recently been attacked in renewed xenophobic attacks on foreigners in different locations of Witbank, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa.
