The National Association of Nigerian Students

(NANS) has warned South African nationals

and their businesses in Nigeria, to leave the

country on or before Monday, September 9, to

avoid grave penalty.

According to a report by The Nation, scores of

the Nigerian students led by NANS' national

public relations officer, Adeyemi Azeez, in

Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, said their

directive to the South African nationals was as

a result of the wanton killing of Nigerians in

South Africa, looting of their properties and the

South African government's failure to address

the situation.

Azeez lamented that the South Africans have

set Nigerians ablaze, maim others, shot

women and burn Nigerian business without the

authority assuring of an end to the carnage.

The NANS' spokesperson also warned that by

Thursday, September 5, all South African

businesses in Ogun state and other parts of

Nigeria would be shut down in protest over the

ill-treatment of Nigerians by South Africans.

His words: “The anger of Nigerians especially

our constituency seems to have gotten to a

point of real reaction against South Africans and

their businesses in Nigeria.

“Clearly, our detest of anything that has to do

with the South Africans is not unconnected to

the spate of killings of our people in their

country which has now taken another gear.

“As students we had embarked on mild

struggles in the past against this inhuman act

of the South Africans but the animals in human

flesh have proven to us that, they can only stop

if we up our actions against them.

these evil perpetrators to the gate of hell."
