from Rustenburg that the attacks against Nigerians
began on Sunday. He said that taxi drivers in Rustenburg alleged that
a Nigerian abducted and raped a 16-year-old South

drugs to a local gang that attacked their members. “ This is absolutely untrue. We have investigated
and found out that the allegations are false. The
union is worried about the safety of our members in
Rustenburg,” he said. Nwanedo said that four Nigerians caught by the taxi
drivers were beaten and are in critical condition in
the hospital while some shops belonging to
Nigerians had been torched. “ As I speak to you, we are afraid because the
attacks have continued and our members are still in
hiding. “We have reported to the police and our national
secretariat. We want the safety of lives and
property of our people,” he said. Mr Adetola Olubajo, President of the union, said that
the national secretariat had been informed about
the incident at Rustenburg. “ Investigation by the union shows that no
Nigerians abducted or raped a South African girl.
Indeed, no Nigerian has been arrested for the
offence and we are worried about the turn of
events. “ The lives and property of our citizens in
Rustenburg are in danger and there is an urgent
need for intervention. We appeal to our mission and
Federal government to intervene urgently and save
the situation,” Olubajo said. Spokesman of the police in Rustenburg, Brig-Gen.

violent protest was unclear but confirmed that “
the burnt houses are those occupied by foreign
nationals,” North West Provincial Commissioner of Police, Lt.-

work with law enforcement officials. “ Those who are doing this must know that they
are committing a crime and drastic action will be
taken, including against our own members who are
involved in criminal activities,” he said. (NAN)
