S’Africa Apologises To Nigeria Over Row- Guardian, Page 1 
After a four-day stand-off, Nigeria and South Africa have ended their diplomatic row, which degenerated into the deportation of the two countries’ nationals by both Pretoria and Abuja. At the root of the crisis was the deportation of 125 Nigerians last Friday by South African immigration officials over the alleged possession of fake yellow fever vaccination document. The Federal Government, which threatened to retaliate the humiliation of the Nigerians if South African government failed to apologise over the incident, last Tuesday sent home the first batch of the country’s travellers from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. Before they reached a truce, Nigeria had turned back 128 South Africans from the country. But yesterday, the two countries called an end to the altercation and to strengthen their bilateral relations in the days ahead.
