Falana tasks FG to sue S-Africa over killings of Nigerians

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana urged the Nigerian Federal Government to move beyond diplomatic condemnations and initiate legal action against South Africa over the alleged killings of Nigerians. This call follows the assassination of Nigerian cleric Bishop Michael Taiwo Fakunle in Johannesburg on September 4. Falana stated that eight Nigerians have allegedly been killed in South Africa in 2026, four of whom were reportedly killed by South African security personnel, highlighting the lack of legal accountability for these incidents.
