Senator Adams Oshiomhole, who represents Edo North Senatorial District, has called on the Federal Government to revoke the operating licences of South African-owned companies in Nigeria, including MTN and DStv, following renewed xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

Oshiomhole made the call on Tuesday during plenary as lawmakers in the National Assembly debated the safety of Nigerians abroad and the country’s response to the recurring attacks.
