hehehehe............Nigerian government on Thursday said reports of a quit notice given to Nigerians leaving in South Africa to depart the country by June 16, 2017 or face dire consequences were totally false.
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaye, said the ministry was unaware of any threat to Nigerians living in South Africa, adding that the mission in South Africa was yet to report any of such to the ministry.
Cobham, however, told Thisday that the mission would “investigate the matter and report accordingly to the appropriate quarters”.
President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa, Ikechukwu Anyene, had in a statement, noted that two communities in Johannesburg had issued quit notices to Nigerians to leave over allegations of dealing on hard drugs, as well as luring young girls into prostitution.
Anyene said the grievances of the South Africans were that Nigerians were responsible for some social vices such as illicit drug trade and prostitution and they blamed every crime in the country on Nigerians, even when it was clear that they were not committed by Nigerians.
Anyene narrated how a Ugandan man allegedly raped a girl in Kwazulu Natal Province and was described as a Nigerian in the media just to make it seem as if the man was a Nigerian.
“We have also written reports on these incidents and sent to the Nigerian Mission and the South African police.
