Diplomatic relations between South Africa and Nigeria may be heading for a complicated turn.

An outlet belonging to a South African food retailer, Shoprite was on Tuesday afternoon attacked by some angry Nigerians in retaliation to the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa on Sunday.

An eyewitness, Osamede Evbakhavbokun told Nigeria Today the Shoprite outlet attacked is the one at Jakande bus stop in Lekki, Lagos. He said he saw the mob attacking the outlet, burning tires and vandalising vehicles.

"Yes, it is true. When I drove past the place this afternoon, I saw everyone running helter-skelter. I quickly drove past to stay safe but I did see smoke coming out of the place and about two cars damaged. I also saw some of them dragging one Lebanese," he said.
