Xenophobia Attacks: OPC threatens South Africa

The Odua Peoples Congress has given the South African
government 48 hours to stop the xenophobic attacks
against Nigerians in South Africa or face its wrath.
The founder of the OPC, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, said this
during a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday.
Fasehun reminded South Africa that it had several business
interests in Nigeria.
He said, “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.”
When asked to specify what exactly the OPC would do if the
South African government failed to heed to its demand,
Fasehun 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.”
Fasehun said it was unfortunate that South Africans were
hostile to Nigerians despite the fact that Nigeria spent over
$60bn to tackle apartheid and oppression in the country.
While displaying photographs of foreigners who were
lynched in South Africa, Fasehun said the irony was that
many of those being attacked had contributed to the
economic growth of South Africa.
He said, “These attacks are a mark of ingratitude against
Nigeria, which is estimated to have spent over $60bn on
the South Africa’s struggle to break the chains of apartheid
and secure independence.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
