In what appeared a reprisal of the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and their businesses in South Africa, an MTN office was on Thursday attacked by a group of angry crowd, leaving behind several of the employees injured.
Recall that South Africans last Saturday in Pretoria West, attacked Nigerians, raiding their homes and killing dozens in gory pictures widely circulated on social media sites.
An eyewitness account of the attack disclosed that after breaking the glasses in the office, the attackers invaded the office.
MTN employees in the office were said to have started running helter skelter as soon as the invaders gained access into the premises, with some locking themselves up in restrooms while others locked themselves up in the secure vault area of the office.
Security guards on ground who tried to prevent the angry mob from gaining entrance into the MTN facility were badly injured.
