The Nigerian Citizens Association in South Africa (NICASA) has condemned the alleged murder of 37-year-old Nigerian, Mr Julius Chukwunta, by four South Africans.
Chukwunta, a native of Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State, was reportedly attacked on December 7, 2024, while driving to his residence in Midrand Protea Estate.
NICASA President-General Dr Frank Onyekwelu, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday, said Chukwunta was blocked by the four men while approaching his residence.
According to him, after attempting to pass through, he was met with resistance, prompting him to seek help at the security office.
