Warn South Africa there will be consequences for Nigerians killed – Lawyer urges Tinubu

Aloy Ejimakor, an activist lawyer and Special Advisor to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has urged President Bola Tinubu to warn the South African government over attacks on Nigerian citizens.

Ejimakor said Tinubu should warn the South African government that there will be serious consequences if any Nigerian is harmed by the South African mob.

In a statement he signed tagged, ‘Dear black South Africans, especially the Zulu’, Ejimakor said, “This #afrophobia you have towards your fellow blacks is very shameful.”

Ejimakor added: “Before you raise your next hand at another black African living in South Africa, remember that South Africa was the only country in the world that the whole of black Africa came together to free from oppression and apartheid.

“No other country was that lucky. Nelson Mandela lived in Nigeria, and so did Thabo Mbeki for many years.Both of them took advantage of Nigerians, and Nigerians also gave them millions of dollars.Because of them, British companies in Nigeria were taken over by the government.

“Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, and others (the frontline states) paid with the blood of their men who fought and died for you.

“And to your government and President Ramaphosa, the rest of black Africa is watching closely and asking how fast you can step up and stop this terrible situation. The buck stops at your table.

“To President Tinubu, I urge you to issue the strongest warning to South African government that there will be hell to pay for any Nigerian lost to a South African mob.”
