Another Nigerian man shot dead in South Africa

A Nigerian man, Olatunde Olaleye, 40, a father of two from Ikere-Ekiti, was fatally shot in Pretoria, South Africa on September 21, according to the Nigerian Union in South Africa (NUSA). The incident occurred at Spanata Bar and Grills in Mamelodi, after an argument over whether a glass could be taken outside the establishment. NUSA President-General, Smart Nwobi, stated that the circumstances were troubling, especially given the series of recent deaths of Nigerians in the country.

The suspect reportedly returned to the bar after the shooting and threatened the management, warning that members of his group would return. NUSA has called for a transparent and impartial investigation into Olaleye's death and for the Nigerian diplomatic mission in South Africa to work with local authorities to seek justice and enhance protection for Nigerians in the country.
