The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Muhammadu Bello, has appealed to its residents, especially students and youth, to eschew retaliatory attacks on South African nationals and business interests in the territory over the recent xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
The protesters, who appear to have been prevented by the police from attacking the mall, burnt tyres and a billboard along the Abuja airport road. Shoprite, a retail shopping outlet of South African origin, has been a major victim of retaliatory attacks by Nigerians.
