Xenophobia: NANS Holds Protest in Ekiti, Urges Nigerians to Stop Patronising MTN, DSTV, Others
Following the attacks on Nigerians and their businesses in South Africa, the National Association of Nigerian Students Thursday held a peaceful protest in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop the senseless carnage with immediate effect.The students protested from Ijigbo area of the state capital to the popular Fajuyi Park, which hindered free flow of traffic along the Ijigbo- Basiri highway for over an hour.
The leaders of the protesters, Sunday Ashefon and Ojo Raymond, who addressed the crowd, said the protest was to warn South Africans to halt their barbaric act and to show that Nigerian students would not tolerate the violence against Nigerians living in South Africa. The President of the National Coalition of Yoruba Youth and Students, Ashefon, called for the immediate release of the 36 persons arrested during similar anti-xenophobic protests in Lagos.
The youth leader, who condemned in strong terms the attack on Nigerians and their businesses in South Africa, also gave a seven-day ultimatum to the federal government to stop the carnage, failing which the students’ body may result to self help.
