Xenophobia: ‘We’re hungry, homeless’ – Stranded Nigerians cry out in South Africa
Stranded Nigerians waiting for evacuation from South Africa have raised the alarm that they are hungry and homeless.
They raised the alarm following delay of the second evacuation exercise by the Nigerian government.
The affected persons, including women, children and elderly persons, are reportedly battling severe conditions after exhausting their savings while waiting for evacuation flights back to Nigeria.
This was made known by the president of the Nigerian Citizens Association South Africa, NICASA, Rev Frank Onyekwelu, on Friday.
Onyekwelu urged the Federal Government to urgently intervene and speed up the evacuation process.
“Several have exhausted their limited resources after travelling long distances in good faith, believing arrangements had been adequately concluded for their departure. They are hungry and homeless,” he said.
