VIDEOS: Massive Looting Of Valuables At Night In Lagos Shoprite
There was massive looting of valuable items at shops inside Shoprite Mall in Sangotedo, Lagos State, on Tuesday night in what appear to be reprisals against xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
Some suspected miscreants were seen in trending social media videos carting away items from the stores whose companies are mainly owned by South Africans.

The looting followed earlier threats by some youths to attack the Shoprite Mall, MTN and MultiChoice offices.
They had been prevented by the police during initial attempts to loot the shops, but were said have gained entry to the mall late Tuesday.
It was gathered that the managements of some of the companies had closed early for the day when they received information that some hoodlums were planning to attack them.
Below are some videos of the looting:
