South Africa’s High Commission In Nigeria Shuts Down

The South African High Commission in Nigeria has shut down operations in the country.

This action follows the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other foreign nationals in some cities in South Africa.

The President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday recalled Nigeria’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Kabiru Bala to the country.

It was gathered that the high commission is temporarily shutting down following reports of attempted attacks on it.

Yesterday, protesters in the FCT burnt tyres and a billboard along the Abuja-airport road, in retaliation of the recent menace.

However, security officers were on ground to prevent them from attacking the mall.

Shoprite mall, a South African-owned property in Lagos was also looted on Tuesday alongside PEP and telecoms firm, MTN across the country.
