Hoodlums in Lagos have looted the Circle Mall at Jakande in Lekki and the Spar Market near Nicon Estate. The hoodlums further set ablaze shops in Circle Mall.
Disturbing
video posted online, shows the expansive mall, in ruins after the plunder and
the arson.
The
plundering began on Wednesday, with police doing nothing to save the stores.
“I couldn’t
take photos. Boys are armed with cutlasses and knives. A few looked my way”.
Joey Akan ,
who took a walk around the area on Thursday morning, tweeted what he saw:
“I just
returned home from my walk, where I strolled to Circle Mall at Jakande.
“The place is
on fire, still being looted, and people are proudly carrying loot on their
heads and shoulders.
The Shoprite
outlet in the mall was looted last year September in the wake of reactions to
the xenophobia against Nigerians in South Africa.
The Novare
Mall in Sangotedo, Lekki was similarly attacked, with many shops emptied.
