Omo-agege Condemns Brutal Attacks On Nigerians, Calls For Decisive Action by Don70(m): 8:03am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Omo-Agege condemns brutal attacks on Nigerians, calls for decisive action. “Monday's fresh attacks cannot be allowed to go the way of others”. The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has described the latest attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa by its citizens as callous, cowardly, inhumane and a dastard act that should be condemned by all. Omo-Agege, who said he was personally appalled by the glaring debasement of humanity with the gross bestiality displayed in some video clips of the attacks being circulated on the social media, said he is pleased that the Federal Government is taking a tougher stance on what seems to have become a routine by some elements in South Africa who randomly inflict pain, anguish and death on foreigners, especially Nigerians. He noted further that the “Senate is without question in support of necessary steps by President Muhammadu Buhari to save Nigerians in South Africa and resolve the totally unacceptable pattern of extrajudicial killings of our innocent citizens”. He said as a believer in the application of the law in tackling any act of criminality, he was never against the security forces in the country deploying the instrumentality of the law to track and punish offenders. However, he emphasized that irrespective of simplistic official explanations now being advanced by South Africa, what happened on Monday was a clear case of demeaning xenophobia and a display of hatred for a particular set of people for no justifiable reason. "I'm still shocked by the level of violence on display by a set of people presumed to be our brothers not just because we are from the same continent but also because we have a shared history. "Nigeria, it must be said, played crucial role and made great sacrifice towards the emancipation of South Africa from the firm grip of apartheid. I wonder how things got this bad that law-abiding Nigerians living in that country have suddenly become prime targets for killings, arsons and destruction. No doubt, Monday's fresh attacks cannot be allowed to go the way of others since it appeared past efforts at interrogating the horrific visitation of violence on Nigerians yielded no positive result in curbing the mindless horror. "The strong message that should be sent to the South African government and its people is that the life of every Nigerian matters and Nigeria would no longer tolerate the violence being visited on our people under whatever guise or excuse. Those behind the latest killings must be fetched out and punished while due compensation should be paid to the families of the victims. "While I commiserate with all those who lost loved ones and valuable properties during the violence, I urge the Federal Government to seize this moment and stand up, as it has always done in the past, for its citizens' rights regardless of wherever they may be in the world. This abuse must stop and it must stop now!" Senator Omo-Agege stated. Signed Yomi Odunuga Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Deputy President of the Senate. 03-09-2019

In a related development, the man who calls himself the president of Nigeria has not reacted, neither has he released any official statement either via his aides or personally since these senseless killings and looting of shops owned by Nigerians started. I marvel at the circumstances that led to the foisting of this lifeless corpse as president over a Nigeria which boasts some of the best brains in every aspect of life globally. meanwhile, Buhari is still picking his teeth and looking at pictures in an old newspaper. 6 Likes 1 Share

Yipocrite. Would he have said anything on the attacks on the Nigerian citizens if not that people are springing up in different part of the nation to condemn the act? So that he would be counted as a good man who spoke up for the people .. Lorbish. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The sad part is that some people have already paid with their lives. Though the action is necessary to stop further violence, it would have been better if they had acted before now when the signs were already showing. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Why are these politicians coming late even d so called VP?? I'm so pained n so shocked!!!! Love to all Nigerians on Twitter,Facebook n NL who poured out their heart felt anger against dehumanization of our fellow Nigerians. ..thanks to the artists like Burma boy, wizkid,Tiwa savage,Alibaba even daddy freeze who earlier voiced out when our leaders where all feigning deaf....thanks to actresses like Genevieve n the only G.O who spoke up against xenophobic actions against Nigerians d person of Apostle Suleiman.....I use this medium to advise n appeal to all Nigerians to let this bring love n unity among us let all the hatred be washed off from now on. Show the world that we have feelings n love for ourselves. We are the greatest in Africa n we shall continue to be. I forgive SA but I pray they get served by karma soonest. 1 Like 1 Share |
