Xenophobia: Nigerians retaliate attacks on countrymen in South Africa

Angry youths in their hundreds in major cities such as Lagos, Uyo and Ibadan stormed Shoprite and MTN offices disrupting their activities and destroying facilities.

The worrisome video of a young man set ablaze, being hit with planks and sniffed by a dog in the full glare of Police officers who could not hide their pleasure and support of the cruelty, as well as the justification of the barbaric acts by Deputy Police Chief Bongani Mkongi on grounds that foreigners hsve dominated the country further fuelled the angst of Nigerians who vowed to vent their anger on South African businesses.

In no time, youths converged and ordered everyone out of the outlet gathering tyres to raze the place. He said: “We are still battling with this issue. I do not know for now if anyone was killed. But I can tell that those youths were not protesters. They were out to burn down the shopping mall and cause problem.
