THE Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has called on the South African government to put an end to the xenophobic attacks that has claimed the lives of some Nigerians living in the country.
MASSOB said most of the victims of xenophobic attacks in South Africa were Igbo people.
The National Director of Information of MASSOB, Nazi Sunday Okereafor, who made this call on Saturday, lamented that the Federal Government was not compelling its South African counterpart to stop the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians, particularly Igbo people doing business in the area.
Okereafor claimed that one Emeka, who was a businessman in South Africa, was shot 25 times by a group of South African youths, adding that it was wrong for Africans to kill their brothers for no just cause.
He said, “The Federal Government can stop the xenophobic attacks. But because Igbo people are more in population in South African, the government has not shown enough commitment towards stopping these attacks.”
