Xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in SA: Protesters hit MTN office in Abuja

Suspected vandals on Thursday attacked the regional head office of telecommunication giant, MTN in Abuja stealing phones, cash and also destroying vehicle and office equipment.

The vandals invaded the premises at 4 Madeira Street, Maitama armed with sticks and rods in retaliation for the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

An MTN worker said the staff ran to safety when the vandals invaded the premises. Police men in the area were said to have mobilized and stopped the attack shortly afterwards.

Also, Nigerian students have threatened to take action against MTN and DSTV if the attacks of her people are allowed to continue as usual.

  4. Two wrongs cannot make things right....

    Hoodlums just found a way and excuse to perfect their evil plans...

    MTN is a company headquatered at South Africa when they couldn't meet up with the monetary criteria given to it by the then Olusegun Obasanjo administration....

    So far, they have been trying in the communication sector....

    Nigeria should apologize to them for the attack meted out on them...


    As for DSTV, i reserve my comments....

  17. Sometimes a part of you is itching to support retaliation especially when you are really hurt but then that other stronger part tells you to broaden your horizon before acting.

  18. Each and every of their business in West Africa should be attacked vandalized and all the S.Africans living here be sent home with just the cloth they were, bunch of ingrates. No wonder you're the last to become independent.
