Chinedu Stanley Asuzu, a Nigerian national and the brother of late Nollywood actor, Enerst Asuzu based in South Africa, has been brutally murdered by armed men at his residence at Johannesburg South on December 16, 2024.
Top Society reports that the Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA), in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Akindele Olunloyo, confirmed the incident on Monday, December 22 disclosing how they discovered that the divorce proceedings and asset division were underway between the deceased and his estranged South African wife before the incident.
Condemning the brutal murder, the NUSA President-General, Hon. Smart Nwobi noted that the organisation is actively supporting the family and working with authorities to ensure that the perpetrators of the dastard act are brought to book.
The Statement partly read: “The NUSA President-General attempted to reach Mrs Busisiwe Sibanyoni, via telephone but was unsuccessful. A WhatsApp message was sent; however, she had not responded at the time of this report’s compilation.
“A witness who was at the scene of the shooting incident was contacted and provided the investigating officer’s details. NUSA’s legal team followed up with the officer confirming that a murder investigation has been launched and remains active.
“NUSA’s legal team is gathering information and liaising with the family,”
“NUSA is providing comprehensive support to the bereaved family. We strongly condemn this act of violence and urge South African law enforcement to bring the perpetrators to justice. To our Nigerian community in South Africa: Stay safe, stay connected.”
Meanwhile, a Nigerian, Mr Ade, is calling the attention of Nigerians and the Nigerian embassy to the sad situation as his body has been seized by his ex wife.
In the video that surfaced on social media, Ade said Chinedu was k!lled shortly after his wife, Busisiwe Sibanyoni, called him that she was coming over to his house to pick the kids despite it being the day the victim was supposed to spend with the children.
According to the victim gave Busiswe the kids and shortly after she left, the armed men stormed the victim’s home and gunned him down.
He further claimed that Chinedu and his wife were getting divorce because she was allegedly misusing his money.
According to him, Busisiwe has full access to Chinedu’s finances and properties because everything the deceased owned was bought in her name.
He also claimed that Chinedu’s money was lodged into her account because he wasn’t eligible to own an account due to him not having a residential permit at the time.
Ade called the attention of the Nigerian embassy and pleaded with the victim’s ex wife to return his body to avoid incurring spiritual wrath.
He also alleged that Busiswe’s friend sent him a DM telling him that she is refusing to return the victim’s body home because she is afraid his family will perform some sort of voodoo on the corpse so the victim can haunt whoever killed him.
