Angry youths protesting the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa on Wednesday made a bonfire on the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road, Lugbe, Abuja, a few metres from a South African franchise, Shoprite Mall.

The smoke from the bonfire scared off commuters on the Expressway as security agents mounted guard over the shopping mall which failed to open for fear of being attacked.
