The source added that Nigeria has also demanded full compensation for the victims of the attacks. According to the source, this is the outcome of President Muhammadu Buhari, Osinbajo and Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, a brainstorming session on the raging xenophobic attacks of Nigeria in South Africa. Onyeama had on Tuesday at a joint news briefing with the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Bobby Moroe, insisted:

“In the first place, we must address the issue of compensation. There has to be accountability and there has to be the responsibility for compensating all those Nigerians that have suffered loss and we are going to absolutely push forward.”
