The Morning Call

This follows an ultimatum issued by the National Association of Nigerian Students following the latest round of xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

No threats have been issued but they say all South African businesses operating in Nigeria must shut down totally and that all South Africans living in Nigeria must leave the country on or before Monday next week.
