Angered by the death, a group of Nigerians and other African nationals gathered outside the Benoni Police Station on Wednesday night to protest the killing.

The group demanded that the police launch a manhunt for the victim’s killer.

Police were forced to use rubber bullets to disperse the crowd outside the station.

Gauteng police spokesperson, Colonel Noxolo Kweza, confirmed that they are investigating a case of murder.

“No one has been arrested as yet, but a docket has been opened pending investigation,” she said.

“We are calling on anyone with information that could help police on the whereabouts of the suspect.”

Meanwhile, the Consulate General of Nigeria in a statement on Wednesday, advised Nigerians in Benoni to take precautionary measures moving around the area.
