Police authorities in Lagos have paraded suspected looters of Shoprite in the Lekki area of the State.

Police Area Commander of Shangotedo, Gbolahan Olugbemi says between September the 3rd and 4th, a total of 125 suspects have been arrested in connection with the attack on Shoprite with 90% of the stolen goods recovered.

According to the police, 112 of those arrested were found in possession of stolen items and have been charged to court.

Meanwhile, the Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has also visited the looted shopping malls.

Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, says five thousand people lost their jobs in Lagos due to Xenophobia attack on the Ajah and Surulere Malls by hoodlums avenging the attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, who visited the attacked malls, assured business owners of safety and ordered security personnel to step up protection of all facilities so as to prevent them from further attacks.

He described the State as a safe haven for business and investments, saying the recent attacks on malls in the wake of xenophobic reprisals by some hoodlums was reprehensible and condemnable.

According to him, it was sad several shops and organisations belonging to Nigerians were affected in the mindless attacks.

The Governor who was at Sangotedo and Surulere Shoprite malls and stores to have a first-hand assessment on the level of destruction of the facilities described the incidents as “enormous”.
