Ikechukwu Ayene, the President of the union in Midrand, South
Africa, said on Saturday that he had reported the incident to
the South African police and Nigerian mission.
"The unjust killing of Nigerians in South Africa is becoming
alarming.
"We are worried that after reporting such killings to the police,
we do not get the desired results. Most cases of Nigerian
victims of murder are either abandoned or inconclusive," he
said.
Anyene said that the situation had become so bad because
more women were getting killed.
"Nigerian communities in South Africa are devastated by this
gruesome murder. Mrs Oyeka was a hard working housewife,
dedicated to the success of her husband`s business and
welfare of Nigerians in South Africa," he said.
Uzor Ekesi, the President, Nigerian Women Association, South
Africa, decried the killing of Onyeka by unknown gunmen.
"The killing came to us as a big shock. We are scared and
confused because women are now being killed.
"Nigerians, especially women, condemn this act and call for
urgent action to stop further killings," she said.
She said that Onyeka was an active and dedicated member of
the association.
A patron of the association, Grace Aniegboka said that
Nigerian women had embarked on a seven day fasting and
prayer session to seek divine intervention on the incident.
"Our reaction has been that of shock and disbelief. We pray
God not to allow this incident or killing of Nigerians happen
again," she said.
Christiana`s husband, Chief Onyekachi Onyeka, also the
President of Anambra State Associations in South Africa, said
he was still in shock and could not speak. (NAN)
