Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM has condemned the alleged assault of a Nigerian, Tayo Faniran, by the South African Police.
A statement in Abuja by the Chairman of NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa described the alleged attack as frightening and uncalled for.
Dabiri-Erewa noted that some South African policemen were currently on trial for alleged maltreatment of some Nigerians in South Africa. She said the call for caution and restraint in such matters would continue.
The alleged harassment of Faniran, a Big brother Africa Star, was seen on an Instagram Live video as South African policemen stopped him for a routine search.
He was allegedly assaulted following his insistence on riding to the police station in his own car and refusal to turn off the Instagram Live recording from his cellular phone.
