Policemen shoot canister of tear gas to disperse people during a demonstration and attacks against South Africa’s owned shops in Abuja, on September 4, 2019. – More than a hundred demonstrators clashed with police near a South African-owned supermarket in the Nigerian capital on September 4, 2019 as resentment simmered over attacks on foreign-owned shops in South Africa.
It was supposed to be a peaceful protest to send signals to South Africa that Nigeria will no longer stand by and watch her citizens maimed or businesses destroyed. “I am waiting for my manager, she has to be here before the security men can let us go in. We don’t know what is going to happen yet.” Ruth told The Guardian.
From sports to apparel to groceries and luxury goods outlets, the looters didn’t spare any shop that had any item that caught their fancy. “Perfumes, watches and other expensive items were stolen after they broke into the shop. We locked the glass door, but they still broke in and there was nothing we could do at that point other than escape,” she said.
