Senator Adams Oshiomhole calls on Nigeria’s Senate to take economic measures in response to renewed xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa. Across reports, he argues that lawmakers should not limit their response to expressions of grief, but should pursue steps that can affect South Africa’s economy. Specifically, Oshiomhole urges the revocation of operating licences held by South African media and telecommunications companies in Nigeria, including MTN and DSTV. One outlet also frames his proposal as withdrawing licences or banning the companies from operating in Nigeria. The reports present his stance as a response to the latest round of attacks on Nigerians, and position his intervention as an attempt to translate political concern into policy action through the licensing and regulatory process. None of the sources provide details on whether the Senate has taken up the proposal or on any immediate government action, but all agree on the central demand: revoking or withdrawing the licences of MTN and DSTV following xenophobic violence in South Africa.
