According to a report by Vanguard Newspapers, on Wednesday, 1 July, 2026, Maduabuchukwu John Okeke, one of the Nigerians evacuated from South Africa to Nigeria, has recounted how a fellow Nigerian was beaten to death during the latest wave of xenophobic attacks, while another returnee narrated losing his family, property and life savings after 12 years of living in the country.

The victims spoke in separate interviews with Vanguard Newspapers after arriving in Nigeria as part of the latest batch of evacuees fleeing attacks targeting foreign nationals in parts of South Africa. Their accounts add to growing concerns over the human cost of recurring xenophobic violence in the country.
Recalling one of the most tragic incidents he witnessed, Okeke, an indigene of Anambra State, said a Nigerian died after being attacked with sticks by a mob.
