Protesters storm Lagos Assembly over killing of Nigerians in South Africa

Some protesters on Tuesday stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly to express their displeasure over the killing of Nigerians in South Africa.

The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions: “Stop the killing of innocent Nigerians in South Africa;” “MTN Nigeria, DSTV, Shoprite will not operate until the killings are stopped,” etc.

The violence spread to the nearby city of Pretoria, where mobs attacked immigrant traders, workers and shopkeepers on Monday. The leader of the Lagos Assembly protesters, Allwell Ademola, said they had visited the Assembly to express their grievances over the “gruesome killings of innocent Nigerians in South Africa.”

While addressing the protesters, Mr Rotimi Olowo, representing Shomolu Constituency I, urged the protesters not to engage in destroying property owned by South Africans in Nigeria.
