Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has called on the Federal Government to institute legal proceedings against South Africa over the alleged killings and abuse of Nigerians. Falana's call follows the reported assassination of Nigerian cleric Bishop Michael Taiwo Fakunle in Johannesburg on September 4, and the death of another Nigerian, James Uchechukwu Nwankwo, after alleged interrogation by South African police. Falana cited comments from Nigeria's High Commissioner to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, stating that eight Nigerians have been killed in South Africa in 2026, four by security personnel. He also claimed over 100 Nigerians have been killed in the country between certain years.
