Brother of late Nollywood actor shot dead in Johannesburg
Brother of late Nollywood actor shot dead in Johannesburg
A Nigerian national, Chinedu Stanley Asuzu, was brutally m8rdered by armed men in South Africa.
Chinedu, the brother of late Nollywood actor, Enerst Asuzu, was shot d3ad by the assailants at his residence in Johannesburg South on December 16, 2024.
The Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA) confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday, December 22.
NUSA, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Akindele Olunloyo, condemned the murder of the father of four, adding that the organisation is actively supporting the family and working with authorities.
According to the statement, the NUSA President-General, Hon. Smart Nwobi and the legal team discovered that divorce proceedings and asset division were underway between the deceased and his estranged South African wife.
“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,” the statement read.
“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,” the statement partly read.
“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 videos sighted by LIB, 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.
