Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has condemned the alleged assault of a Nigerian, Tayo Faniran, by the South African Police on Thursday.

In a statement in Abuja on Friday, the Chairman of NIDCOM, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, described the alleged attack as frightening and uncalled for.

“Their almost physical attack on him is most unprofessional, ” Dabiri-Erewa added in the statement issued by the Head of Media of the commission, Mr Abdur-Rahman Balogun.

“Faniran is, however, not in police net and the commission will reach him for a one-on-one interaction,’’ she said.

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.

South African police make una take am jeje. Nigerian police hate competition o

The only thing they can do is to condemn they will never do the needful....

Always condemning
I this govt can order a reprisal against attack on SA interest on Nigeria. This nonsense would have been a bye issue.

Sa nationals died on accident in Nigeria (SCOAN) our ambassador was summoned. It wasn't an easy ride then.
Our nationals die every day by xenophobic attack and we do nothing.

Only CONDEMN

That's what happens when the know there won't be any in kind treatment...

He is lucky it did not happen in Nigeria. Many did not live to tell the story. You go come dey do insta live when Naija Mopol dey talk to you?

But South African police are also known to Rob and kill too. I hear say dem too like bribe for that side.

To the docile Nigerians who are always in support of the SA while condemning their own for reasons no one knows... despite those Nigerians making an honest living..

Is Faniran a drug dealers also?

I am beginning to believe these politicians' condemnation is no different from typing comments on social media. How can they keep condemning but the situation continues without disturbance of any sort?
