The family of insurance director, late Mrs. Uju Ndubuisi-Chukwu, who was killed in South African hotel, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the investigation of her death.

They are calling on President Buhari to empower the Nigeria Consulate in South Africa to intensify efforts by putting pressure on South African Police to conclude the investigation, which it started following her death.

She was killed on June 13 at the country’s luxurious hotel, Emperor Palace Hotel.

Mrs. Ndubuisi-Chukwu was the Deputy Director-General of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN).

She was in Johannesburg, South Africa as a delegate of a conference, African Insurance Organisation (AIO) held from June 9-12.
