A South Africa-based Nigerian lawyer, Ugochukwu Anyiam, has called on the Federal Government to intensity efforts to evacuate more Nigerians and also protect those who are willing and capable of returning home on their own from harassment and arrest at the airport.
He made the call while appearing as a guest on Arise News breakfast programme on Saturday.
Anyiam, a lawyer with Anyiam Attorneys Inc., appreciated the Federal Government for its intervention so far but said the government needs to do more.

“We highly appreciate that the Federal Government has done something to show that they care about their people in South Africa, people in crisis, people that are facing hostilities, but the government can still do more. It needs to do more because there are thousands of people who are out here who need to go home and can’t go home for one reason or the other,” he said.
