The leader of Odua Peoples
Congress, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun today in Lagos while addressing journalists at a
press conference has given South Africans 48hours to stop the xenophobic
attacks against Nigerians or face its wrath. Dr. Fasehun says the citizens
should not forget that South Africans are also in other countries including
Nigeria and have businesses here to protect. Hear him;
“While the Nigerian
government and the rest of the world seek a diplomatic solution to this season
of madness, the OPC hereby warns that South Africa must end this rash of
xenophobia within 48 hours. These ill-advised attacks are capable of bringing
out the beast in the best of men. And we will not watch as fellow Nigerians are
wantonly killed in cold blood....
“Enough is enough. South Africans must know that nobody has
a monopoly of violence. They must halt the killings, the maiming and the
looting of foreigners’ shops in their country. These incidents of xenophobia
will provoke reprisals against South Africans and their interests in other
lands.
“Thus, beginning with the belligerent Zulu King, all South
Africans involved in these attacks should be arrested immediately and
prosecuted for crimes against humanity.”
The leader was however asked what he and his men woll do
incase the attack does not stop and here’s what he said;
“South Africa has many business interests in Nigeria but of course, you do not expect me to reveal what we will do until the time is right,” he replied.
