The boiling point of South Africa’s xenophobic attacks on Nigerians
The recently released report was on Nigeria’s extrajudicial killings by security operatives .And as if to buttress their point , barely 24 hours after the release of the UN report, in a dark twist , a Nigerian policeman shot dead a Nigerian outside Shoprite in Lekki , Lagos after protesters invaded the premises in a reprisal attack and lit bonfires around. The police PRO has tagged the killing ‘ a rumour ‘ , even as a police van was consequently set ablaze.
Concerning South African attacks, Mr President had a sheer chance interaction and not a deliberate meeting with the South African President on the side-lines of a Japanese-African summit in Japan , not many days back. It was largely opportunistic , and could only have been perceived as such by the South African Head.There were no statements issued , or follow up at the diplomatic level.
Maybe even as you read this , our “Special Envoy “ will be in South Africa where he will have tea with senior officials there , who will assure him that ‘the matter would be taken care of ‘, and then the Special Envoy would fly back home , with not much else done. Perhaps he will see some of the Nigerians living in South Africa , to round off his trip. But Nigerians at home are tired now of protesting peacefully , something they have been doing over the years .
