The Federal Government on Wednesday advised Nigerians against
traveling to high risk and volatile areas of some countries until
the current situation of xenophobic attacks is brought under
control.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave the advice in a statement

xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa which led to death
and loss of properties of Nigerians.

assured Nigerians that the Federal Government was committed to
protecting lives and properties of Nigerians living in South
Africa.
The Ministry stated that the Nigerian Government would ensure
that definite measures are put in place to avoid a recurrence on
such attacks on Nigerians.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria totally condemns the renewed
attacks on foreign nationals and their businesses in South Africa
which has led to the loss of lives and properties worth Millions of
Naira.
“The Government of Nigeria is engaging the relevant South
African authorities via the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria,
Consulate General in Johannesburg.
“And the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja to ensure that
definite measures are put in place to curtail the unfortunate
attacks.
“The Federal Government commends the arrest of some perpetrators
of the dastardly act by the South African Police and call on timely
prosecution to serve as deterrence to others.
“However, due to the tension created by the attacks, the
Government of Nigeria wishes to advice Nigerians to avoid
travelling to high risk and volatile areas until the situation is
brought under control”, the Ministry stated.

situation, President Muhammadu Buhari instructed Foreign Affairs
Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama to summon the South African High
