A mob of angry looters has invaded Shoprite malls at Lekki, Ikeja and Surulere in Lagos to retaliate the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
Though they were resisted by policemen at the outlet, they eventually gained access and started throwing away items on the stands after burning many tires in front of the mall.
As at the time of filing this report, the Shoprite mall at Surulere has been shutdown after the security operatives chased out the protesters that had gained access into the mall. The armed security operatives are at present waiting at the mall gate in case of further protest.
