Why FG Must Demand Compensation For Nigerians Killed In South Africa – Lagos Assembly

The Lagos State House of Assembly on Thursday demanded that the South African government be made to pay compensation in huge amounts to the victims of the latest xenophobic attacks in the country.

The lawmakers said this at a sitting where many condemned the incident and called on the Nigerian government to further prove its will by supporting its citizens abroad.

Speaker Mudashiru Obasa said Nigerians abroad should be able to enjoy government support while carrying out their legal activities.

Obasa further called on the government to push the recent attacks in South Africa to the attention of the African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN).

The Speaker, however, lamented that while the South Africans are killing Nigerians in their country, citizens are busy destroying businesses linked to South Africa but with Nigerian interest.
