The news of Ifeanyi, also known as Ejima, a Nigerian national, being shot by Highrise Building, around SANS in Hilbrow, Johannesburg, on Saturday, July 8, 2023, around 7:30 pm, filtered through the Nigerian community, with rumors of cult-related.

The issue was reported to the Taskforce on the Murder of Nigerians by Nigerians in South Africa. Members of the Taskforce swung into action to investigate and unravel the incident, ensuring that the perpetrators were handed over to authorities.

The Taskforce can assure Nigerians that the shooting of Ejima has nothing to do with cultism or a Nigerian. It is a tragic robbery case in which the lady's shop next to him was robbed, and he tried to help her. He was shot in the process. They rushed Ejike to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead at around 1.30 PM. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

The Taskforce urges Nigerians to be law-abiding citizens who conduct themselves in accordance with the laws of the land.

The Taskforce also takes advantage of this opportunity to remind Nigerians that the case of the five Nigerians who murdered Mr. Alexander Chukwuwbuni (AKA Boye) has not been forgotten. We urge anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or a member of the Taskforce.

Signed,

Taskforce Committee.
