The Nigeria Union South Africa has announced the death of another Nigerian in South Africa, following a vicious attack by suspected gangsters.
The President of NUSA, Collins Mgbo, announced the death of Nicholas John in a statement issued from South Africa on Thursday.
John, an indigene of Ogun in Southwestern Nigeria, was attacked by a mob at his shop in Kimberly in South Africa’s Northern Cape on February 12.
The victim is the 128th Nigerian to be murdered by South African nationals in the last three years. He is also married to a South African woman who was delivered of a baby barely three months ago.
According to Mgbo, other Nigerians at the scene called an ambulance and took John to the hospital, but they were informed by the doctor at the hospital that his brain was damaged and that he might not make it.
