Nigerians Slept Outside Their Embassy… Then This Happened

Dozens of Nigerians gathered outside the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria after responding to the government’s voluntary evacuation programme. Many claimed they spent hours—and in some accounts overnight—waiting with their luggage before being processed for repatriation. At the same time, South Africa’s Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration made another revelation during its media briefing. Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia said South African authorities had written to Nigeria regarding a convicted Nigerian prisoner who had completed his sentence, but the individual had reportedly not yet been repatriated. In this documentary, Kweku Africa Media separates verified facts from online claims, examines what happened outside the Nigerian embassy, explains the government’s evacuation process, and looks at the wider diplomatic tensions between Nigeria and South Africa. What really happened? Who was responsible? And what does this mean for Nigerians living in South Africa? Watch until the end.
