statement on Sunday by NiDCOM\u2019s spokesman, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, demanded justice and arrest as well as prosecution of those involved.<\/p>\n<p>She said the increasing rate of criminality and killings of Nigerians in South Africa was worrisome and calls for serious concern.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that Nigeria and South Africa have come a long way as African brothers, the NiDCOM boss wondered why some people were committing heinous crimes against fellow Africans.<\/p>\n<p>Dabiri-Erewa urged the South African authorities to ensure that justice is served for the murdered Nigerian driver and ensure the protection of the lives and property of non-indigenes in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>She reiterated the need to strengthen the rapid response protocols and institutionalised structured escalation mechanisms for diaspora-related incidents.<\/p>\n<p>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelstv.com\/2025\/07\/26\/nidcom-boss-slams-kemi-badenochs-citizenship-claim-for-her-children\/\"
