Bishop Ezeokafor who stated this while addressing newsmen at St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, Awka urged Nigerian government to take special interest in the unfortunate development in making sure that Nigerians are protected in midst of the racial impasse.
The Catholic Prelate, condemned in strong terms the racial attacks even as he called for caution in the interest of Africa Continent
'Many non indigenes have been slaughtered by rampaging and ill- informed South Africa youths,' Bishop Ezeokafor said.
The man of God, enjoined African political and religious leaders to fashione out ways on how to cushion the effect of the dastardly act describing it as man's inhumanity to man.
