South African policemen
The Nigerian Citizens Association South Africa has condemned the killing of its member, Mr Chika Ibe, who reportedly died following alleged inhumane treatment during a police operation.
In a statement issued on Thursday, NICASA President, Rev. Frank Onyekwelu, said Ibe “reportedly died after being subjected to severe beating, torture, inhumane treatment, and alleged suffocation.”
Onyekwelu slammed operatives of the South African Police Service who conducted the operation at Parksig Villas Complex, Bellville, Cape Town.
“These allegations are deeply disturbing and, if confirmed, constitute a gross violation of human rights and the rule of law,” the statement said.
