Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola has condemned the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.<\/div>\n
\n

He said Africans need to come together \u00a0as a continent to fight injustices.<\/p>\n

In the xenophobic attacks on foreigner especially Nigerians in South Africa which began on August 28, several businesses owned by Nigerians had been destroyed and looted while those found on the streets had been physically assaulted, raising fears among many Nigerians domiciled in the former apartheid colony.<\/p>\n

Tweeting on the issue on his verified twitter handle, Otedola in a tweet via @realFemiOtedola, described the development as hateful discrimination and urged Africans to \u201ccome together as a continent to fight this injustice\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cMy heart cries for my Nigerian brothers and sisters who have been senselessly killed in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly condemn this hateful discrimination and xenophobia. I pray for us to come together as a continent to fight this injustice.\u201d<\/p>\n
