In reaction to the xenophobic killings of Nigerians in South Africa, the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students has recently threatened to shut down the South African Embassy in Nigeria.
This is coming after the recent killing of Mrs. Elizabeth Ndubuisi, Deputy Director-General of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), who was found dead in her hotel room in South Africa while attending a seminar and other xenophobic killings.
In a statement in Abuja on Thursday, NANS President, Danielson Akpan, who condemned Ndubuisi’s death said, “The rascality of South Africans has gotten to an alarming state. As at today, official record of Nigerians killed in South Africa has risen to 127.”
Akpan threatened to mobilise the over 40 million Nigerian students to shut down the South African Embassy and it businesses in Nigeria; DSTV, Shoprite, MTN among other businesses to protest the incessant killings of Nigerians in the country.
However, the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, had assured that everything would be done to unravel the death of the late Ndubuisi, a Nigerian national who was alleged to have been strangled in in the country.
