Youth Leaders Postpone Protest Against Xenophobia in Nigeria
The Forum of National Youth Leaders of All Political Parties in Nigeria (FNYLPPN) announced the postponement of its planned warning protest against South Africans in Nigeria, originally scheduled for Wednesday, 5th August 2026. This decision followed a meeting with officials from the Department of Security Services (DSS) on Tuesday, 4th August 2026, where the DSS presented credible security intelligence indicating that the protest could be hijacked by undesirable elements.
The leadership of FNYLPPN, including Hon. Comrade Eze Onyebuchi Chukwu and Ozu Important, emphasized the importance of public safety and national peace, stating that they would announce a new date for the protest if the situation regarding xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa does not improve. The Forum reiterated its commitment to peaceful advocacy for the protection of Nigerians and the pursuit of justice for victims of xenophobic violence.
