Governor Rochas Okorocha has honoured the visiting President of South Africa by erecting a giant statue of Zuma in Owerri, the Imo state capital. The governor unveiled the statue in the presence of the South African president and other dignitaries at a ceremony in honour of Zuma. 

 

Zuma, who has been in Owerri since Friday is currently facing a running battle in his country over allegations of corruption and abuse of office.

 

This also comes at a time when over 5 Nigerians have been reportedly killed by South Africa's police. Just this month, at least two Nigerians have reportedly died in the hands of police officers in South Africa.

 

 

Zuma was also given the Imo Merit Award, the highest award in the State which is usually given to honour persons that have distinguished themselves in various fields of human endeavours.

 

 

He was also conferred with a chieftancy title (Ochiagha di oha mma of Igbo Land, meaning the people’s warlord) and a street named after him.
