Nigerians Seriously Injured, Their Shops Looted in Fresh Xenophobic Attack in South Africa (Video)

According to confirmed reports, Nigerian owned businesses were targeted as some shops were vandalised and goods stolen in a recent Xenophobic attack which happened on Tuesday in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa.

It was gathered that about eight Nigerians were abducted by South Africans in Evander, north-west of Secunda in Mpumalanga province of the country, but have been released after government intervention.

Some others were beaten mercilessly during attack by South African residents as can be seen in the video below.

Adetola Olubajo, president of the Nigerian union in South Africa, told NAN that the abducted Nigerians were released on Wednesday following pressure by the union on the South African authorities.










Olubajo said Nigerians in Evander had also informed the union about attacks on them in the province.

According to witnesses and one of the survivors, Evander locals went on rampage in the early hours of April 2 and attacked businesses and property owned by Nigerians,” Olubajo said.

The mob arrested eight Nigerians and took them to an unknown destination.”

Olubajo said the union had informed the Nigerian mission in South Africa about the incident.

Christopher Ogugofor, leader of the Nigerian community in Evander, said the Nigerians were abducted from their shops on Tuesday. “They (South Africans) started attacking and looting our shops on March 29. But on Tuesday, April 2, they took away eight of our members to unknown destination,” he said.

“They were taken to an unknown destination and no ransom was demanded. “We reported the incident to the Nigerian Union. For now, we have taken protective measures and some of our members are in safe places out of the town.”

We don't have a government in Nigeria. Am not surprised, if Nigerian government can't protect its citizens in Nigeria from police brutality, arm rubbers, political thugs, boko haram etc. How can she protect her citizens in other countries.
Its pathetic, how Nigerians have being attacked and treated like criminals in South Africa on several occasions. What a shame

You are a big fool. That one or two persons misbehaved doesn't mean evey one is guilty. You south Africans are simply jealous of their progress. If some people are into drugs, and molesting, why can't you people leave it to police to do their work. Are there no south Africans in Nigeria, have ever heard of such attack on? Does that mean that all the south Africans living in Nigeria are saints?
Majority of you south Africans are just delusional.

Your father is the greatest fool to have produced an imbecile like you. How many South Africans come here to perpetrate heinous crimes like you do in their country. Jack ass!
