Reports- Free Flights For Nigerians Fleeing Xenophobia?
5 September 2019
By A Correspondent- A Nigerian airline, Air Peace has volunteered to give Nigerians, who want to travel back from South Africa free flights as from Friday tomorrow, September 6th, unconfirmed reports have claimed.
This follows after Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s government on Tuesday summoned South Africa’s envoy and said it would dispatch a delegation to Pretoria to express “deep concern” over attacks on Nigerians in a wave of xenophobic violence.
The decision came after mobs descended on business hubs and townships in various parts of South Africa, looting dozens of shops and torching trucks driven by foreigners in an outburst of anti-migrant anger.
