The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) is set to mobilise over 40 million students to shut down the South African High Commission as well as companies owned by South Africa in Nigeria.
The companies that will be affected in the showdown according to a statement in Abuja on Thursday by NANS president, Mr. Danielson Akpan, include DSTV, MTN, Shoprite among other businesses operated by South Africans in Nigeria.
The students’ body premised its proposed action on rising cases of xenophobic killings of Nigerians in South Africa.
Akpan condemned the recent killing of Mrs. Elizabeth Ndubuisi in her hotel room in South Africa while attending a seminar.
Ndubuisi, who was said to be the deputy director general of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), was found dead in her room at Emperor’s Palace Casino, Hotel and Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa.
“The rascality of South Africans has gotten to an alarming state. As at today, official record of Nigerians killed in South Africa has risen to 127.
“These are human beings, these are Nigerians. Unfortunately, this figure is just the confirmed and official figure, not to talk about the ones swept under the carpets.
“Just on the 23rd June, 2019, Mrs. Elizabeth Ndubuisi was strangulated in her hotel room (Emperor’s Palace Hotel and Convention Centre) Johannesburg, South Africa. She’s the deputy director general, Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria.
“Consequently, we shall be shutting down all South African reflections in Nigeria-Embassy, DSTV, Shoprite, MTN and many more.
“Since South Africans do not want us in their country, they should leave our land,” he said.
