Two Nigerians Brutally Beaten In South Africa Beaten

Two middle aged Nigerians were brutally beaten and almost killed by some South Africans in Kuruman Northern Cape province in South Africa.

The gory incident occurred on Friday,May 12^th,  and both men were left with serious injuries.

A Facebook user, Ugo Martin Ugbaje who is based in South Africa, shared the photos of the battered men and wrote; “May God save us in this country south Africa. Two Nigerian guys almost murdered yesterday in Kuruman northern cape if not because of police help their lives could have been a story by now”.

The victims of the mob attack who were accused of selling drugs to students were beaten mercilessly by a mob in South Africa. Sequel to the allegation, a South African facebook user, Oageng Mol Louw,  reacted  to Ugbaje’s post, and said those who attacked the victims were only protecting their children’s future.

He added that “There is no racist[ism] in this matter. Protecting our kids and their future is important.”

“You guys know how dangerous those stuff are, yet you’re selling them to school kids. Now that’s heartless.”

It would be recalled that the attack was perpetrated two days after two Nigerians were shot dead in the Western Cape province of South Africa.

Mike Ibitoye, chairman of the Nigeria union in South Africa, identified the victims as Ernest Ughakwesili, 42, from Anambra state, and Chimezie Oranusi, 26, also from Anambra.
