Unionian Nigeria condemned the wave of fresh attacks on residents who live in South Africa

The Nigerian Union of South Africa (Nusa) has condemned a new wave of brutal attacks on Nigerians in the country.

They also condemned the kidnapping of an ani silas in a spring, Gauteng Province.

Nusa’s National Publicity Secretary, Akindele Olunloyo, who appointed alarm in a statement on Sunday, said the victim was beaten because of unconscious and forced states taken from his workplace by a television station staff member.

The statement said the Silas striker was accompanied by his media team, private security personnel and members of the South African Police Service Crime Prevention Unit (SAPS) attached to Saps Springs Station

“Many spectators witnessed the attack and abduction that was not provoked, and Nusa had obtained video evidence showing SAPS officers standing while this heinous act was carried out,” Olunloyo said.

He added that the behavior of law enforcement officials in dealing with the Nigerians represented negligence of severe tasks and suggested the potential for involvement in what was some criminal offenses based on South African law.

“Although there is a big search about corpses, hospitals, and police stations in all provinces of Gauteng, Silas is still missing,” he said.
