The police spokesperson, Bala Elkana, in a chat with PUNCH noted that the police had beefed up security.

He said, “Attacks on Shoprite and other businesses owned by South Africans met stiff resistance. We have beefed up security everywhere. There is no cause for alarm.”

Online videos also showed four police patrol vans at the mall at Osapa London as a crowd attempted to enter the mall.

The outrage was triggered by reported killings of Nigerians in South Africa.
