The Presidency has condemned the killing of one Ozumba Tochukwu-Lawrence by an unknown gunman in South Africa.
Lawrence, it was learned, was shot six times by his assailant and died before reaching hospital.
His death was confirmed on Sunday by the Nigeria Mission in the rainbow nation.
The incident, according to the Nigeria Consulate-General in South Africa, occurred at 10 Koppe, Middleburg, Mpumalanga, on 6 July.
And the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has expressed worry over this development.
She said that at least 117 Nigerians were extra-judicially killed in the country between 2016 and 2018 for one flimsy reason or the other.
