Ahead of the AFCON semi-final clash between the Super Eagles and Bafana-Bafana, the Nigeria High Commission has issued an advisory on safe conduct to those staying in South Africa.
The communique released on Tuesday warned Nigerians in the country of ”veiled threats” against them should the Super Eagles beat South Africa in the match on Wednesday .
It advised the “Nigerian community to be watchful of their utterances”and also”be mindful of where they choose to watch the match, especially in public places”

In light of any provocation, the High Commission advised against any form of reciprocation but as law-abiding members of the society acts of violence should be reported to the proper authorities.
