Xenophobia: NSCDC uncovers plans to attack MTN in Bayelsa

The Bayelsa State command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has uncovered plans by some persons to attack investments of MTN in the state as a reprisal for ongoing attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.


The state’s Commander of NSCDC, Mr. Desmond Agu, said in a statement in Yenagoa on Monday that the corps was on red alert to stop aggrieved persons from destroying MTN’s facilities in the state.

Agu said intelligence reports revealed that such persons were planning to vent their anger on MTN’s masts and other facilities.

He advised persons behind such plots to desist from toeing a violent path and appealed to members of the public to report suspicious persons to the corps.

He said: “Our attention has been drawn to an intelligence report that some persons are planning to carry out an attack on South African investments especially the MTN’s telecommunication masts and other facilities following the ongoing xenophobia attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

“Members of the public especially Bayelsans are hereby advised to desist from such acts and avoid taking laws into their hands.

“As an organisation saddled with the responsibility of protecting our critical national infrastructures, the command remains committed to deliver on its mandate.

“Members of the public are hereby advised to report persons or group of persons suspected to be planning such attacks to the command.”

  1. I do not see any wrong in people trying to lunch a reappraisal attack on the south african investments in Nigeria because the south africans and their government are insensitive about the xenophobic attacks on migrants in their country, if they had, like the Nigerian security outfits are doing in view of the above report, things wouldnt have gotten out of hand as we see SA hoodlums stabing and killing migrants at close range without remorse. What if Those people killed and their properties vandalised are your brothers, uncles, fathers and so on is your blood relative how will you feel. Nigerians and Nigeria strugled for their freedom from Peter Botha and others in the 80's and today they have the mind to kill fellow africans living the apartheid master's who own the economic power of SA they own the the farmlands, mines, the industries and live in reserved area's. These people have now become their lords while other africans are refered to as criminals. So pathetic. Their action depicts total illiteracy. We shall attack the fools. Do not persuade us. Let them feel the pain too.
