Xenophobic attack on Nigerians, inhumane - Comr. Okafor blows hot

He also solicited on the Federal Government of Nigeria to act in prompt to see to the permanent solution of the xenophobic crises.

The message reads below:

"Where should we go from here?

This year has experienced the peak of humiliations, killings, and maiming of Nigerian citizens in South Africa in a continuous manner.

Several Nigerian Nationals have been killed, businesses worth millions of Dollars belonging to Nigerians have been destroyed and yet this unnecessary evil keeps on prolonging.

The South African Government have failed to give any monitored feedback on the unabated killings of our dear Nigerians in her shores.

This must stop. We say no to this barbarian act. We won't keep shut anymore and watch evil protrude.

What is the crime of the Nigerian living in South Africa?

What do they really want from us?

As a selfless leader and  a role model to other youths in my institution and beyond, I have come open to condemn this act and therefore, anticipate speedy action by the Presidency to forestall order, crush the perpetrators and bring the culprits to justice.

I am Comr. Joseph Okafor. 

I remain a concerned citizen of my country and the welfare of her citizens is my utmost concern.

I rep UNIZIK

I rep Justice
