Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa, has issued security warnings to Nigerians in South Africa over a planned attack on foreign citizens.
The commission revealed that the attack is being targeted at foreign business owners, shops and undocumented foreign nationals.
In its memo dated 24th August, the embassy advised all Nigerians living in the country to be watchful and cautious of their activities.
“This is to advise Nigerians living in South Africa to be vigilant and exercise caution in their activities due to the recent utterances of the proponents of the Operation Dudula and their threats to attack foreign nationals in this country,” the memo reads.
The commission went further to disclose that the notorious group through public notice and video clips on social media announced a March against foreign migrants in South Africa from 2nd September.
South Africans have a standing history of unleashing violence on Nigerians and other Africans for reasons ranging from intimidation, to drug dealings and job poaching.
