Another Nigerian Dies In South African After Alleged Police Raid

Nigerian national, Ibrahim Badmus, 25, was killed on Tuesday, during a police raid in Vaal near Johannesburg, South Africa.

The incident occurred barely one week after 35-year-old Jelili Omoyele was shot dead in Johannesburg over an alleged 300 Rand (about N7,500) parking lot debt.

According to eyewitnesses, the victim was allegedly handcuffed, tortured and suffocated while being questioned by about three policemen at his home.

One of the witnesses, a flat-mate of the deceased and a Congolese, Steve Lumbwe, said, “I found Omo (the deceased), my tenant on handcuff. There was a plastic where they put pepper spray on him.”
