South Africa attacks on Nigerians

The Senate has urged the Federal Government to issue a travel alert to Nigerians on South Africa.

The senate has also urged Nigerians to be security-conscious in South Africa.

The Senate has directed its Committee on Foreign Affairs to investigate the alleged attacks on Nigerians in South Africa and report back to it within two weeks.

Moving the motion earlier, Mrs. Grace Bent had noted the protracted and unabated intimidation, brutalisation and cases of robbery and sundry attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

She said hoodlums usually dispossessed Nigerians arriving in South Africa of their valuables after trailing them from the airport to their destinations.

This is coming on the heels of a recent attack on former first lady
