Members of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo group in South Africa are demanding justice for one of them, 30-year-old Mendis Uzodimma, a trader, who was allegedly stabbed to death in his shop in Rosettenville, Southern Johannesburg following the release of some porn videos.
A statement
signed and released by the group’s Deputy Secretary-General, Tochukwu Ngwoke,
stated that Ohanaeze received the news of Uzodimma’s gruesome murder on May 13
and urged the South African government to ensure that justice is served.
The statement
in part reads……
“On May 13,
2021, the leadership of ONSA received a distress call from our people (Igbo
people) in Rosettenville, Southern Johannesburg, informing us about the
gruesome murder of a young, energetic, and vibrant Igbo son, Mr Mendis
Uzodimma.
The deceased,
a 30-year-old young man, owned a phone shop on Main Street, Rosettenville, and
hailed from Ohaji Egbema in Imo.
A witness who
spoke to us at the court premises said Mendis was stabbed several times by a
South African woman and her husband from Zimbabwe, whose daughter sold a phone
to Uzodimma.
Apparently,
the daughter of the woman, who is alleged to be an online porn artiste, sold
her phone to our brother, who in turn sold it to another person who saw the
porn movies where the girl featured and started circulating them,” he revealed.
When the girl
got it, she thought it was the person she sold the phone to who circulated it
not knowing that he was not the one as he had sold off the phone.
So, it was
out of fury that the lady, her mother, and her mother’s husband stormed
Mendis’s shop. Without hearing from him, the mother started stabbing him until
he slumped and died.”
Ngwoke added
that two witnesses had already testified to ensure that justice is served.
