Drone footage showed people looting a burning supermarket in the Lekki district of Lagos, Thursday, October 22, amid further unrest in the city, despite an ongoing curfew. Video obtained by Reuters shows people running from the Shoprite supermarket as flames and smoke were surrounding the building.
