The federal government of Nigeria on Monday summoned Bobby Moroe, South Africa’s high commissioner to Nigeria, over the recent xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in that country.
The ministry of foreign affairs disclosed this in a message on Tuesday.
”I am directed to inform you that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has summoned the High Commissioner of South Africa for a meeting this morning by 11. The meeting was confirmed a few minutes ago,” it read.
The minister of foreign affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, tweeted that the constant negative reports about treatment of Nigerians in South Africa is “sickening,” promising that the federal government would take needed steps to curb the situation.
“Received sickening and depressing news of continued burning and looting of Nigerian shops and premises in #SouthAfrica by mindless criminals with ineffective police protection. Enough is enough. We will take definitive measures,” he tweeted.
