Nigeria’s House of Representatives begins an investigation into human and economic losses faced by Nigerians in South Africa amid repeated xenophobic attacks. The move follows the adoption of a motion presented during a Tuesday plenary session by Babajimi Benson, a member representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency in Lagos State. The lawmakers state that the inquiry will look at both the reported impact on victims and the broader economic harm associated with the attacks. According to the motion, the investigation is intended to determine appropriate measures, including potential compensation for those affected. The House also links the probe to efforts to strengthen protection for Nigerians living in South Africa. Both outlets describe the resolution as an official parliamentary step, initiated through plenary proceedings, aimed at establishing facts about the attacks and assessing possible government responses. The investigation’s outcomes are expected to guide further actions on support for victims and protection measures.
