The Centre for Protection of Nigerians in the Diaspora (CPND) has said that many Nigerians living abroad were now in palpable fear as a result of Xenophobic attacks, especially in South Africa.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the procession was held at the Liberty Bridge, Maryland Lagos.
Orji said that that Nigerians deserved better treatment from the South African Government away from the killings being experienced.
