Two Nigerians beaten like thieves in South Africa
Two Nigerians were beaten mercilessly by a mob in South Africa over accusation of drugs to students.
The incident reportedly happened at Kuruman northern cape area of the country, on Friday.
A Facebook User Ugo Ugbaje shared photos of the attacks on his Facebook page, saying the victims would have died if the police had not intervened.
“May God save us in the country, South Africa. Two Nigerian guys were almost murdered yesterday in Kuruman northern cape. If not for the police, their lives would have been a story by now,” Ugbaje wrote.
Reacting to Ugbaje’s post, Oageng Mol Louw, a South African, said those who attacked the victims were only protecting their children’s future.
“There is no racist[ism] in this matter. Protecting our kids and their future is important,” Louw said.
“You guys know how dangerous those stuff are, yet you’re selling them to school kids. Now that’s heartless.”
Nigerians and their South African counterparts have been making comments on Ugbaje’s Facebook post.
Naija News recalls that two Nigerians were recently shot dead in Western Cape Province of South Africa.
