Yenagoa, Nigeria. The Nigerian government has repatriated 1,490 of its citizens from South Africa following a wave of xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals.
The returnees arrived in Nigeria aboard government-arranged flights after violence in parts of South Africa forced many to flee their homes and businesses.
The attacks reportedly left several people injured and caused widespread damage to properties owned by foreign nationals.
