Nigeria parliament boycotts South Africa events over anti-migrant attacks

The directive, announced by a spokesperson to the parliament, ​bars legislators from official travel to South Africa and from ​participating in meetings hosted or organised by South African institutions until further notice.

South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola led a delegation to Abuja in July, for talks with Nigerian officials aimed at easing tensions over ⁠attacks on ​Nigerians and other African nationals in ​South Africa.

Nigeria's parliament has suspended official s to South Africa and ordered lawmakers to boycott South African-hosted legislative activities, ​citing reports of attacks on Nigerians and other African migrants ‌there.
