The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, on Tuesday in Abuja, said the Nigerian government will demand N84 million from South Africa to pay victims of xenophobic attacks.
Mr. Wali stated this while briefing the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs on his visit to South Africa.
Mr. Wali said the attacks were instigated by some chiefs to kill Nigerians in their country.
He, however, noted that the South African government was not in support of the killings.
Giv​ing​ a rundown of damages ​done by Nigerians, Mr. Wali said: “Total of Nigerians wounded or hospitalized is two, shops looted and damaged five, number of displaced Nigerian men is two, number of displaced women six, and number of displaced children eight.
“In terms of these attacks, our situation is minimal and luckily there are no fatalities and there is no serious injury.
“The assessment in terms of the compensation that we intend to now demand from South Africa when we have our next bi-national commission meeting in Abuja is N84 million.”
Mr. Wali also said Nigerians should be ready for evacuation in case the problem intensifies.
He said Nigeria should try to rub minds and assist the South African government to overcome this crisis.
“Recalling an envoy is a very serious matter and there are steps that would be taken,” he said. “What happened in South Africa will not ordinarily warrant the recall of an envoy particularly when Nigerians are still there.
“You need the full complement of the Nigerian mission there to be able to handle the situation.”
He said an investigation was ongoing on the alleged instructions from King of the Zulus, Goodwill Zwelithini, that South Africans should get rid of fellow Africans stealing their jobs.
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Musiliu Obanikoro, said the South African government had stated that unemployment played a major role in the attacks.
He also said the Zulu king had publicly condemned the crisis and, being a king, showed a sign of true repentance.

Thank goodness that their is no fatalities

Fair enough

Ok, how much would Nigeria pay her citizen's families that died in Synagogue?
Nigeria and her black market business sef....
What concerns Obanikoro sef in this matter? Is he not a junior minister covering Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia others?

Will they pay? This is not possible Abeg!

They should use the N84m in creating structures that would create job opportunities for their jobless citizens who out of jealousy for their hardworking Nigerian counterparts decided to engage in this madness...
As bad as we all think Nigeria is... Nigeria has at least created an environment that attracted and is attracting foreign investors (south African businesses inclusive) while South Africa is turning their country into a no-go area for foreigners...
I don't blame them sha.... They ate suffering from post-traumatic syndrome of the apartheid era. God help them to understand that we did not create their problem nor were we part of it. Their enemies are till living among them and even controlling them bm through modern day slavery.
