Nigeria has pulled out of the ongoing World Economic Forum in Cape Town, South Africa, over fresh xenophobic attacks.

The Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also issued a travel advisory due to the tension created by the attacks. In it, the Nigerian Government wished to advice Nigerians to avoid travelling to high risk and volatile areas until the situation is brought under control.
