PRESS STATEMENT
XENOPHOBIC ATTACK: PROTECT NIGERIAN CITIZENS, END STIGMATIZATION, NIDCOM URGES SOUTH AFRICA GOVT
The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission has called on the South African government to protect Nigerians and black immigrants in South Africa, expressing deep concern over the worsening persecution of black immigrants, in parts of South Africa.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chairman/ CEO of the commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri- Erewa.
“ While many expected a de-escalation of tensions following earlier engagements between both governments, the situation on the ground is deteriorating”, she noted.
Reports reaching the Commission indicate that pupils of Nigerian descent are now scared to attend school. Genuine business owners are afraid to open their shops for fear of targeted attacks, looting, and harassment. Community leaders have documented fresh incidents of violence and intimidation in the last 72 hours.
NIDCOM appeals to the Government of the Republic of South Africa to take urgent and visible steps to protect all foreign nationals within its borders, as required under international law and African Union protocols on free movement and human rights.
We state clearly that NIDCOM rejects the profiling and generalisation of all Nigerians. Crime has no nationality. Any individual, regardless of origin, who commits an offence should be investigated and made to face the full penalty of South African law.
However, collective punishment and blanket labeling of an entire nationality are unacceptable and dangerous.
NIDCOM therefore demands:
Immediate Security: Increased police presence and patrols in flashpoint communities where Nigerians reside and trade.
Accountability: Prompt arrest and prosecution of persons involved in xenophobic attacks, arson, and extortion.
Dialogue: A joint Nigeria-South Africa community safety forum with police, city officials, and diaspora leaders.
Non-Discrimination: Clear public messaging from South African authorities that condemns xenophobia and warns against stereotyping.
We urge all Nigerians in South Africa to remain law-abiding, avoid high-risk areas after dark.
We are in direct contact with the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria and the Consulate in Johannesburg as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
NIDCOM commends the majority of South Africans who continue to live peacefully with their African brothers and sisters. We believe in the historical ties that bind both nations and call for calm, restraint, and respect for human life.
Nigeria will continue to work diplomatically with South Africa to ensure the safety, dignity, and rights of our citizens abroad.
Signed
