Nigeria - The Nigerian Senate yesterday hinted on formally filing a criminal case at the International Criminal Court, ICC, Hague, against the Zulu King, Goodwin Zwelithini, who was believed to have instigated the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa through inciting comments, Vanguard reports.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Musiliu Obanikoro, summoned South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Lulu Mnguni “to register Nigeria’s protest over the ongoing xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans in South Africa.”
“South Africa needed to take concrete steps to quell the unrest and bring the culprits involved to book to act as a deterrent and prevent further violence," he said.
The senate also urged President Goodluck Jonathan to recall Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa for further consultations.
A formal protest to the South African government, demanding compensation for victims of the attacks, was also lodged.
