22-year-old Nigerian student shot dead in South Africa days after murder of another Nigerian

A 22-year-old Nigerian student from Plateau State, Isaac Satlat, has been shot de@d in South Africa in what many Nigerians resident in the country believe is a fresh wave of xenophobic attacks. 

Charles Awuzie posted the sad news on his Facebook page on Thursday, Feb 12. He said Isaac, whose father is a Christian Missionary in South Africa, was earlier reported to have been kidnapped while driving his father’s car in Moshongo Province outside of Pretoria. 

Awuzie said the body of Isaac who was due to graduate next month with plans to move to Canada to advance his academic pursuit, was discovered two days later riddled with bullets. 

Another Nigerian based in South Africa also wrote about Isaac’s murd£r. 

“Just four days after an innocent man Emeka Uzor was brutally gunned down by Xholani Khumalo’s team in South Africa, a 22-year-old Plateau State indigene, Isaac Satlat was kidnapped from his car and shot 12 times last night. 

“Isaac Satlat’s body was found in Moshongo, Attridgeville, not far from Pretoria. Until his d£ath, Isaac was a student at SA. He was supposed to graduate in a few weeks and head to Canada for further studies. 

“Reports say his father has been hospitalized in Nigeria after his BP shot up over 230—no country in Africa hates fellow Africans like South Africa. The hatred of Nigerians in South Africa is such that no Nigerian should go there even if they offer you $100,000. 

“He was brutally murd£red with over 12 shots to his young body and left in a pool of his blood. His parents’ car which he was driving in was vandalised and according to Solomon Ashoms, his father’s blood pressure shot up to 230 when he received the news of what happened to his child.”
