A Nigerian doctor named Anthony Nwafor, has been
accused of corruption and illegal immigration by the
Department of Home Affairs in South Africa. Nwafor, a
family physician was arrested two weeks ago with 14 of his
family’s passports. The department of Home affairs in its
report said Nwafor was arrested for unlawfully being in
possession of those passports which were South African
and Nigerian and had tried to bribe an officer investigating
him with 50,000 rand.

Nwafor's wife, Amara, who is a practicing pharmacist, was
initially arrested alongside her husband, but was later
released as charges against her were dropped while her
Nigerian passport is yet to be released.
Amara Nwafor has condemned the allegations against her
husband,
“I see what is going on here as xenophobic prosecution and
I also see it as white collar xenophobia,” she said. Nwafor
subsequently appeared at a bail hearing in Limpopo
province over charges level against him.
In cross-examining, the prosecuting counsel questioned the
different spelling of the doctor’s name on his documents
seized and prayed the court not to grant him bail, stressing
that the court was not sure who it was releasing.
Nwafor’s legal representative believed that the errors in the
spelling of his client’s name by the department should not
cost him a denied bail, insisting that his identity cannot be
questioned in a country where he studied and has practiced
for 14 years. The presiding judge adjourned the case and
asked for more time to study the arguments of both parties
and the evidences presented to him.

So his offence is that his name is misspelt?

This Doctor should be left alone. Still don't know why Nigerian's go to SA. It is an African Country, and them letting another African subject them to humiliating embarrassment, smacks of them having an inferiority complex.

It is true, that we seek greener pastures outside, but the pasture in South Africa is not even as good as that in Nigeria. This rubbish of Nigerian's going there for Economic prosperity has to stop.

hhmmm

this is no problem, he is coming back to the land of the rising sun!
But seriously, SA will use style pay Nigeria back through people like this doctor. I feel sorry for him.

South Africa been feeling herself since 1900 bc. I was just wondering what a Nigerian woud be looking for in S.A. I'd rather stay in IB

Hmm

Studied in SA and have practiced medicine for 14yrs? SA of all countries when there are better opportunities even in Anambra be nnaa?

Bia nwokem, isi o dikwa gi na pharmacists nwunye gi mma?
