The Senate on Tuesday agreed to send a “strong delegate” to South Africa to express their displeasure over the renewed xenophobic attacks against Nigerians.
Speaking during plenary, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, said the delegates will deliberate with South African Parliament to resolve the attacks.
