The Consulate General of Nigeria in Johannesburg has condemned the invasion of its premises and the disconnection of its electricity supply on Wednesday, 18th January 2023, by officials of Johannesburg City Council, describing it as a flagrant violation of extant international treaties and conventions.
Local news outlet, IOL reported that power utility company, City Power, disconnected power from Nigeria’s diplomatic mission on Wednesday but eventually restored it in the night after the consulate reportedly made part payment of what it owed.
