The MTN office located in Karu, a suburb of Abuja, has been
vandalised by some Nigerians protesting against the xenophobic attacks on
fellow citizens in South Africa.
There was also pandemonium at Shoprite, Lugbe, along airport
road, Abuja, on Wednesday as police fired teargas canisters to stop a mob from
setting the shopping mall on fire.
The protesters, who were on the verge of setting the
building ablaze, were stopped by anti-riot policemen.
They, however, set bonfires on the expressway, around the
Shoprite outlet, and insisted on not leaving the area until they accomplished
their mission. More policemen have been deployed in the area to restore law and
order.
A traffic congestion has built up on the busy road as
hundreds of commuters are caught in the fracas.
There have been reprisal attacks targeting South African
businesses in the country since the latest round of assaults on Nigerian
citizens in South Africa.
On Tuesday, violence broke out at the Shoprite outlet in
Lekki, resulting in the death of one protester.
The MTN office in Bodija, Ibadan was set on fire in the
string of protests against targeting South African businesses.
The police said they have reinforced security around some South
African business interests across the country to forestall attacks.
