 58-year-old Nigerian bishop allegedly killed in South Africa


The Nigerian Citizens Association South Africa (NICASA) has alleged the k!lling of a 58-year-old Nigerian cleric, Bishop Taiwo Michael Fakunle, in Johannesburg, South Africa.


Fakunle, an indigene of Iye, Ilejemeje Local Government Area of Ekiti State, was allegedly k!lled on Friday, September 4, at his residence in Kensington, Johannesburg.


Disclosing this to newsmen, the National President of NICASA, Rev. Frank Onyekwelu, said the circumstances surrounding the cleric’s death had left his family, friends and members of the Nigerian community devastated.


According to him, two suspects allegedly gained access to Fakunle’s residence and opened fire on him, reportedly shooting him more than seven times.


Onyekwelu described the incident as a “horrific and senseless act of violence” and condemned the k!lling, expressing concern over the continued loss of Nigerian lives to violent crime in South Africa.


“This was not merely an ordinary loss of life; it was a horrific and senseless act of violence that has robbed a family of a loved one and the Nigerian community of another precious life.” he said 


Onyekwelu said NICASA had reported the incident to the Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg, adding that a murder case had been opened at Jeppe Police Station.


He called on the South African Police Service (SAPS) and other relevant authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing.
