The Nigerian Ambassador to South Africa, Martin Cobham has
ruled out the option of evacuating Nigerians from South Africa for now
following strings of Xenophobic attacks.
"I will not
want to subscribe to immediate evacuation. We want to look at this thing in
three phases - The lower, middle and Higher threat. We can only appeal to our
people to abide by the host country's laws, avoid indiscriminate clashes and
violence and work with local authorities" he said
He also alleged that pictures and videos circulating the
internet about the xenophobic attacks were false and that most of them are from
occurrences in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
