The Nigerian Law Society, an organization representing non-litigation Nigerian lawyers, has requested President Bola Tinubu to relocate Nigeria's High Commissioner to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode, to another African nation. This request comes in response to the escalating xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa. The Society's Executive Secretary, Dr Tonye Clinton Jaja, signed a letter urging Tinubu to act, citing Fani-Kayode's alleged breach of diplomatic protocol and his public complaints about the South African government's handling of his letters of credence.
The letter was sent following a clash between Fani-Kayode and the South African government, with the latter describing his actions as inappropriate. The South African government has yet to respond to the Law Society's request.
