Chinonso Obiaju, a 17 year old Nigerian secondary school pupil has been killed in Johannesburg, South Africa in a suspected xenophobic attack.
According Adetola Olubajo, President of the Nigerian union in South Africa, Chinonso was shot dead on Saturday.
Olubanjo said, “He went to buy something from a shop with his friend and someone opened fire on them, killing him. He was born here, I learnt the mother is in the US. I have spoken to Mike Nsofor to pass the Nigerian community ’s condolences and call for justice to be served in this case as anybody who hunts down a young schoolboy couldn’t have any justifiable reasons.”
