Tensions rise as South Africans celebrate killings of six Nigerians in viral video

A disturbing wave of online reactions from South Africans has emerged, celebrating the deaths of six Nigerians recently killed in South Africa.

This incident has intensified concerns over xenophobic sentiments and violence in the country.

A video circulating on social media captured a somber moment where Nigerians in South Africa gathered to pay their final respects to one of the victims.

The deceased’s body was taken to his shop for a poignant farewell before being transported back to Nigeria.

In a troubling response to the video, several South Africans praised the individuals responsible for the killings. The reactions included disturbing calls for more Nigerians to be killed, expressing dissatisfaction that only six had been targeted.
