Senator Adams Oshiomhole urges the Federal Government to seize the profits of South African companies operating in Nigeria and use the proceeds to compensate Nigerians who are attacked abroad, particularly in the context of xenophobic violence in South Africa. Both outlets report that Oshiomhole makes the proposal as a response to concerns about how affected Nigerians are supported. In the accounts provided, he calls for a direct link between the economic gains of South African businesses in Nigeria and compensation for victims of xenophobia. The Daily Post Nigeria says the remarks are delivered in a video where Oshiomhole reacts to a statement, while The Punch presents the same thrust of the argument, saying he calls on the government to implement the measure to pay those harmed. The reports do not detail the legal or administrative mechanism for seizing profits, nor do they specify the scope of compensation, timelines, or the number of beneficiaries. The common point across the sources is Oshiomhole’s recommendation that government action target the profits of South African firms in order to fund restitution for Nigerians affected by xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
