The Nigerian Consulate in South Africa has confirmed that no fewer than three Nigerians were shot dead between November 14 and 17 in South Africa.
A recent statement by the Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg revealed that the Nigerians were killed in Durban as a “result of intra-community violence that has not been adequately managed.”
The statement read: “The Consulate General of Nigeria is saddened by the latest reports of killings of Nigerians in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
“Preliminary accounts indicate that three Nigerians were shot and killed between 14th and 17th November 2022 due to intra-community violence that has not been adequately managed. This is a source of grave concern to the Mission and well-meaning Nigerians.”
The Consulate General commiserated with families of those who died during the violence and appealed to Nigerians in Durban and South Africa to shun violence and any action that could degenerate into violence.
Also, the Consulate General urged the community to be law-abiding and escalate all disputes to relevant law enforcement agencies for assistance.
