…FG urged to emulate Ghana on ‘tit for tat’ against S/Africa
…Allegation of bribery, ‘long-leg’ trails evacuation efforts
With the arrival of 282 returnees on Thursday, the fifth batch of stranded Nigerians evacuated from South Africa, the federal government has been commended by many on the voluntary evacuation exercise.
So far, about 1,143 Nigerian citizens and around 1,000 Ghanaians were among the 25,000 that have fled South Africa since the new wave of xenophobic attacks in the last four months, which have continued after the June 30th deadline given to undocumented African nationals by anti-immigrant groups to leave the country.
While the commendations are still on, some are worried over the fate of many Nigerians, who are still stranded in South Africa, awaiting registering for repatriation or their evacuation dates.
