A Nigerian national, Ibeh Simon, has died in Bellville, Cape Town, during a South African Police Service operation on 23 July, bringing to five the total number of Nigerians killed in South Africa since the latest wave of xenophobic attacks began this year. The Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg said a second Nigerian, Egwabor Patrick, was shot during the same operation and remains under medical treatment, describing the police conduct as part of an "alarming pattern" of extrajudicial killings and misconduct against foreign nationals. No arrests have been made in any of the previous cases, and the consulate is renewing demands for an immediate and transparent investigation, as South Africa's broader anti-foreigner violence has already prompted several African countries — including Nigeria, Ghana, and Zimbabwe — to repatriate their citizens.
