The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs has acted in response to reports of renewed attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa.
In a statement released by the spokesperson of the Ministry, Mr. Clement Aduku, last night, March 22, 2017, the office said the reports of new attacks demands great concern as it’s just few weeks ago that an attack which caused severe damage to Nigerians and their businesses was launched.
The statement said that an argument between two Nigerians and some South Africans led to a fight at a motor park in Polokwane at the Limpopo province on March 14, 2017.
The Nigerians were injured and moved to a hospital. Though one has been discharged but the second person is still receiving medical attention. The businesses of the two Nigerians were however destroyed.
The statement further said, though, this act cannot be classified as a xenophobic attack.
