The Nigeria Union in South Africa has blamed hostility against Nigerians in the former apartheid enclave on ignorance and misinformation being peddled by the country’s media. spokesman of the Union, Mr. Emeka Ezinteje told News, on Wednesday, that the media owned by some powerful South Africans create erroneous impression that every Nigerian is a criminal, while ignoring Nigerians’ contributions to South Africa’s economy.Ezinteje, who spoke on the heels of renewed attack on Nigerian nationals who pursued their genuine businesses in the country, called on the South African Government to bring the culprits to book, and also urged that any Nigerian arrested for any offence should be charged to court instead of resorting to extra-judicial killing and police brutality as if life was worthless.
