XENOPHOBIC ATTACKS IN SOUTH AFRICA: NIGERIANS LOSE OVER N21 MILLION

 

Nigerian Consul-General in South Africa, Uche Ajulu-Okeke, said on Sunday that Nigerians lost more than 21 million Rand (N1.2 million) in the on-going xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Ajulu-Okeke told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) by phone from Johannesburg, South Africa, that the loss included looted shops, burnt shops, two burnt mechanic workshops, 11 burnt cars and two stolen cars, among others.

“Nigerians have compiled the cost of the damage to their property and it is totaling about 1.2m Rand or N21m, which will be sent to the Federal Government for further action,” the ambassador said.

She said that two of the three Nigerians who were wounded during the attacks in Durban had been treated and discharged from the hospital.

The consul-general said that she would go back to Durban to assess the situation on ground and meet with the provincial authority on the security of Nigerians in that province.

She said, “The Nigerian mission in South Africa is on top of the situation. We are working hard to protect Nigerians in South Africa. Though the task has not been easy but we are trying our best. In one of the hot spots at Jeppe, near Johannesburg, the mission assisted about 50 stranded Nigerians to re-settle. I have also visited the site of the attacks in Johannesburg to assess the damage and it was enormous.”

She said the Nigerian mission would meet with the Nigerian union chapters in the nine provinces of South Africa to devise means of checking further attacks.

“I am bringing all Nigerians together so that we work out a vigilance and alert mechanism; they will also tell me what their challenges and issues are,’’ she said.

Okeke said the mission and the Nigerian Union had been working together to meet the challenges caused by the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians.

 

PICS: ISIS BEHEADS & SHOOTS MORE ETHIOPIAN CHRISTIANS IN SICKENING NEW VIDEO

 

Two months after ISIS in Libya beheaded 21 captured Egyptian Christians on a beach, the ones in Ethiopia have done same. In a 29mins video released over the weekend titled 'Until It Came To Them - Clear Evidence', ISIS showed the beheading of at least 30 Christians they described as 'followers of the cross from the enemy Ethiopian Church'.

16 of the men were lined up and shot in a desert, while 12 were marched to a beach and beheaded. Ethiopian government condemned the act and called for the extermination of the terrorist group in the world. Meanwhile Europeans are getting scared now, because Libya is just a few hundred miles from the coast of Italy. 

 

 

IJAW GROUP ASKS GEJ TO GRANT PRESIDENTIAL PARDON TO JAMES IBORI BEFORE HE LEAVES ASO ROCK

 

An Ijaw group called the Ijaw People’s Development Initiative, IPDI, in Delta State, over the weekend asked President Jonathan to grant presidential pardon to former governor of Delta state, James Ibori, before he leaves as president of Nigeria on May 29th.

"Ibori should be freed. Hundreds of persons, who looted heavily from government coffers are walking freely in the streets. The continuous incarceration of one corrupt man among a million other corrupt citizens cannot change the menace of high level corruption in the country. Ibori’s imprisonment could be seen as a witch-hunt and such is highly barbaric and provocative and the Nigerian government must quickly do something about his matter. Despite the ordeals Ibori is passing through, Deltans hold him in high esteem and his great achievements while in office cannot be discountenanced.

There should be no sacred cow among political office holders. Ibori’s case is not different, he is a victim of circumstances. Release him and let him breathe fresh air and let other corrupt public office holders be tried as well.” National President the group, Mr. Austin Ozobo, in interactive with newsmen, said (Vanguard)
