Xenophobia: Henry Okah, Others Reportedly Attacked In S’africa Prisons by RiversWatchDog(m): 8:01am On Mar 05, 2017 |
The Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta has called on the
Nigerian parliamentary delegation to
South Africa to extend its fact-finding
mission to other Nigerians being kept in
solitary confinement in various South
Africa prisons. MEND said secret
xenophobic attacks take place in South
Africa prisons. It listed its former leader,
Henry Okah, who is currently serving a
jail term at Korkstad Prison in the Kwa-
Zulu Natal Province of South Africa
among those suffering xenophobic
attacks in the country. In a statement on
Saturday by its spokesman, Jomo
Gbomo, MEND said: “There are hundreds
of Nigerians in South Africa who are
serving various prison sentences or
awaiting trial. From the reports
available to us, many of these Nigerians
are subjected to xenophobic attacks as
they are regularly singled out for
harassment, on account of their
nationality or arbitrarily isolated in
solitary confinement, by South African
prison officials. “We, therefore, call on
the Nigerian parliamentary delegation
to find time to also visit various prison
facilities in South Africa where they will,
indeed, be confronted with the real
victims of xenophobia in South Africa.”
While commiserating with thousands of
Nigerians who had suffered from the
recent attack, it added, “We are
constrained to draw the attention of the
National Assembly delegation to other
variants of xenophobic attacks which are
not in the public domain.” |
