In a video, he expressed worry that the situation was grave and appealed to Nigerians and African immigrants still in the UK to return to their countries for the time being.
The man, who claims to be in Lagos, said he is unsure when he would return to the UK. His statement in part read:
“I am back in Nigeria today because of the whole immigrant riot sh.it happening in the UK right now. I had to book my flight to return back after one of my friends was a victim in the riot that happened and we stayed together.
“So, this is a very serious matter and I will urge you guys, if you know you are a Nigerian or an African or wherever you are from and you know you are an immigrant in the UK, please for now return back to your home, your country.
“I embarked to my own country Nigeria and I am presently in Lagos. I don’t know when I’d be going back to the UK right now…”

FG issues travel alert over UK riots
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that the federal government had issued a travel alert after killings in UK riots.
The Nigerian government’s travel advisory is coming after anti-immigration protests erupted in response to a mass stabbing that killed three young girls in Southport.
Multiple towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland saw clashes between anti-immigration demonstrators and counter-protesters, with police officers attacked and injured. Dozens of arrests were made after the scenes of disorder, with police warning that further violence is likely in the coming days.
