Nigeria’s patience is wearing thin over the alleged killing of its nationals in South Africa, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has cried out, warning that the continued failure to prosecute perpetrators could have consequences for bilateral relations.
Fani-Kayode, who is the High Commissioner designate to Republic of South Africa, in a statement on Saturday, condemned the alleged murders of Bishop Michael Taiwo Fakunle and James Uchechukwu Nwankwo in Johannesburg on September 4 and 5 respectively, describing the developments as “mortifying” and deeply shocking.
