He warned that issuing statements alone will not protect citizens facing attacks abroad. He urged the government to pursue concrete diplomatic measures. These include lodging formal protests, planning safe repatriation and engaging South African authorities more robustly. He said urgent action is needed to ensure the safety of Nigerians overseas.
