President Muhammadu Buhari has sent a special envoy to President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa over the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians.

Buhari, in a statement on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said he was deeply concerned about the attacks on Nigerians and their property in South Africa.

The statement said the envoy, whose name was not mentioned, would arrive in Pretoria on Thursday.

The recent attacks began last week after a taxi driver was murdered by an alleged drug dealer in Pretoria.

Speculations that the alleged killer was a Nigerian sparked protest, looting and burning of business centres owned by foreigners.

hree Nigerians were said to have been killed in the process with scores injured.
