A video circulating on social media has sparked outrage after hungry Nigerians mobbed a luxury bus carrying Mamelodi Sundowns football players and staff of South Africa. The footage shows the South African team tossing leftover food to the desperate crowd.
The drama unfolded at MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, Ogun State as Mamelodi Sundowns exited the venue after a resounding 5–1 victory over Remo Stars of Abeokuta in the first leg of the CAF Champions League on Sunday.
Many social media users attributed the incident to the country’s widespread hunger crisis.
