A group of Nigerians have staged a protest at the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa against recurring killings of Nigerians in that country.

The protesters, mostly victims of xenophobic attacks in South Africa said they are angered by the recent massive looting of foreign-owned shops in the city by some South Africans.

Many of the protesters lamented that they have lost their goods and business investments to the looting spree which occurred on Wednesday at Pretoria Business district.

The protesters in separate interviews said that the protest was needed because they are now feeling unsafe in the foreign country.
