The General Overseer of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, on
Wednesday appealed for an end to violence in Nigeria and South Africa.
Many Nigerians have in recent
months come under attack in South Africa.
The latest onslaught has
snowballed into large scale violence which has led to reprisals in Nigeria,
Tanzania and other countries.
Adeboye via his personal Twitter
account urged all parties to embrace peace.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs has announced that Air Peace Airline would commence the
evacuation of Nigerians in South Africa from Sept. 6, following recent attacks
on Nigerians in that country.
Mr Ferdinand Nwonye, Spokesperson
for the Ministry, made this known in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Nwonye said that Mr Allen Onyema,
Proprietor of Air Peace Airline, volunteered to send an aircraft from Friday,
Sept. 6, to evacuate Nigerians who wish to return free of charge.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
wishes to inform the general public that following the recent xenophobic attack
on foreign nationals, including Nigerians in South Africa, the Proprietor of
Air Peace Airlines, has volunteered to send an aircraft to evacuate Nigerians.
“The general public is hereby
advised to inform their relatives in South Africa to take advantage of this
laudable gesture.
“Interested Nigerians are
therefore advised to liaise with the High Commission of Nigeria in Pretoria and
the Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg for further necessary
arrangement,” the statement stated.
