Baaritaan ay Koonfur Afrika ku hayso dhimashadii nin Nigeriaan ah oo ku dhacday xarig

Maidammada Koonfur Afrika ayaa baaraya dhimashadii uu u dhintay nin u dhashay Nigeria oo ku magac dheer Ibeh Chika Simon, 42, ka dib markii uu ku dhacay intii lagu jiray xarig ay sameeyeen booliiska Cape Town toddobaadkii hore. Hay'adda madaxa-bannaan ee kormaarta dhaqanka booliiska ayaa xaqiijisay inuu soo gaaray nabaro badan.

Weedha Booliiska iyo Dambiilaha

Booliiska Western Cape ayaa sheegay in Simon uu dhintay isagoo la xarigayay markii uu isla markiiba xanuunsaday oo dhacay. Col Andre Traut, af-hayeenka booliiska, wuxuu qabo inay baarayeen guri ay ka heleen qori shati la'aan ah iyo wax u eg maandooriye.

Markii ay u guureen inay xarigaan Simon, ayuu dhacay, dhakhaatiirtii degdegga ahana waxaa loo yeelay, laakiin waxaa loo sheegay inuu goobta ku dhintay. Tani waxay ka turjumaysaa sidii dhacdadu u dhacday sida ay qabaan mas'uuliyiinta booliiska.

Falcelinta Diblomaasiyiinta Nigeria

Ninikanwa Okey-Uche, qunsulka guud ee Nigeria ee Johannesburg, wuxuu yiri dalkiisu waa 'deeply appalled by reports of the egregious police tactics that led to his death'. Waxay ku baaqday baaritaan 'transparent' ah oo lagu sameeyo dhimashada.

Waxay sidoo kale ku eedeysay 'an alarming pattern of unresolved extrajudicial killings/deaths and unacceptable misconduct against foreign nationals'. Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa ayaa dhacdada ku tilmaamay 'a very unfortunate situation'.

Xiisadaha Gobolka iyo Baaritaanka Ipid

Ipid ayaa hadda baaraya dhimashada Simon, waxaana xaqiijiyay guddiga Inter-Ministerial ee socdaalka inuu kiisku socdo. Wasiirka Caddaaladda Mmamoloko Kubayi ayaa sheegay in qaar ka mid ah ajaanibtu ay iska caabinayeen howlgalka booliiska ee Khamiista.

Dhimashada Simon waxay timid iyadoo xiisad ka taagan tahay Koonfur Afrika iyo Nigeria oo ku saabsan eedeymo ah in Nigerians ay bartilmaameed u noqdeen rabshado xenophobic. Ecowas ayaa cambaareysay weeraradaas, halka Koonfur Afrika ay diiddan tahay xenophobia.

Ibeh Chika Simon, 42, died during a police operation as Nigeria demands a transparent probe

South African authorities are investigating the death of Ibeh Chika Simon, 42, who collapsed while being arrested by police in Cape Town last week. A post-mortem found bruises and abrasions, and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate is reviewing the case.

Police account and official response

Western Cape police said Simon died while he "was being placed under arrest [as] he allegedly became unwell and collapsed". Spokesperson Col Andre Traut stated officers found an unlicensed firearm and suspected drugs in a home search before Simon "collapsed" and was declared deceased at the scene.

paragraphs": "South Africa's Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration confirmed the investigation on Sunday. Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi said during the Cape Town operation last Thursday "some foreign nationals... were resisting law enforcement operations". The committee chairs the state response to migration management.

Nigerian diplomatic reaction

Nigeria's consul general in Johannesburg, Ninikanwa Okey-Uche, said her country was "deeply appalled by reports of the egregious police tactics that led to his death". She called for a "transparent" investigation and alleged an "alarming pattern of unresolved extrajudicial killings/deaths and unacceptable misconduct against foreign nationals".

paragraphs": "Okey-Uche stated: "Suspects are entitled to due process in a court of law; no authority should be above it." Nigeria's foreign ministry spokesperson Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa described the incident as "a very unfortunate situation". Reports of another Nigerian shot in the same operation were denied by police.

Regional tensions and wider context

Simon's death follows confirmed death of another Nigerian in June under similar circumstances, with Ipid also probing Emeka Charles Iroegbu's case. Tensions between South Africa and Nigeria are heightened over allegations Nigerians face xenophobic violence.

paragraphs": "Ecowas leaders last week condemned attacks on African migrants in South Africa and urged swift protection. Ghana repatriated citizens and two Ghanaians petitioned the ICC, rejected by South Africa as "opportunistic". President Ramaphosa rejects xenophobia and urges lawful conduct.
