Xenophobic Attacks: Senator warns Nigerians against reprisals
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Diaspora, Non-Governmental Organisations and Civil Society Organisations, Surajudeen Basiru, has cautioned Nigerians against reprisal attacks on South Africans and their investments in Nigeria.
He gave the warning just as he stated that the Nigerian government and the commission are doing their best to arrest the ugly trend of xenophobic attacks in South Africa. He added that the committee understands that Nigerians at home and in South Africa want the government to show definitive and concrete effort at easing their suffering in the hands of the South African hoodlums hiding under the cloak of nationalism to perpetrate evil.
The Senate Committee Chairman warned that “If we are not careful as a nation, this issue may escalate into an unfathomable row between the two countries with very dire consequences”, saying that urgent and concrete steps must be taken as soon as possible.
