The Aare Ona Kankafo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams has condemned the arson and inhuman treatment meted on Nigerians in South Africa.
While declaring support for the actions taken so far by the Nigerian government, Adams, said some Nigerians in South Africa get involved in drug deals and also encourage South Africans to join them in the illicit business, reportsHe said: “There has been a pressure on me to issue a statement on this matter and I can confirm that as at this moment, no life has been lost.
“On the issue of the xenophobic attacks in South Africa, I am a regular traveller to South Africa. The issue is from both sides. I condemn the action of some few criminal elements in South Africa. South Africans are lovely people, very hospitable and accommodating at their own level. I am speaking with facts. Most of the professionals in South Africa are Nigerians”.
“So, I think we should manage this xenophobic crisis carefully. I agree with the federal government because when you don’t express your displeasure over what happened, the other country will not know your worth. “On the side of Nigerians, parents who have children in South Africa should talk to them on the need for proper behaviour. Some Nigerians are involved in the drug business in South Africa and they encourage South Africans to also get involved in drug dealings.
