Nigerians in South Africa speak on Buhari, Ramaphosa’s proposed meeting, xenophobic attacks
The President of NICASA, Mr Ben Okoli, made this known in a telephone conversation with the News Agency of Nigeria from Johannesburg, South Africa.
“We will use the opportunity to lay our complaints to the president and highlight security of lives and properties of our members, as the area of concern that we want addressed. He lamented the highhandedness of Police operatives in South Africa on matters that concerned Nigerians, saying issues like brutality and killings should be brought to the fore at the meeting.
“We urge the South African Government to ensure that the attacks do not recur. We appeal to them to device alternative strategies since previous efforts to stop xenophobia have not worked. “I understand the situation; it is not easy for somebody to lose his property and just be watching; but the mission gate was not shut against them,” he said.
