NIGERIA’s Consul-General in South Africa, Andrew Idi, has appealed to Nigerians in the country to be calm and law abiding at all times.
His appeal follows a recent spate of shootings involving Nigerians which has claimed the life of one person with a few others left injured.
One of the victims is a father of four children, who died after being shot execution-style on the street, in an area populated by Nigerians called ‘East and West’.
The Consul-General visited the coastal city of Durban after issuing a safety advisory earlier this week.
“In the last one week, there have been three shootings which resulted to one death and then the other two casualties survived with gunshot wounds,” Idi told Channels Television.
Following his meeting with the police leadership, Idi said, “We all agreed that there are certain flash points that requires added security presence and attention and he gave us all the assurances that the police command would do that and we are happy.”
