Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has condemned the alleged killing of a Nigerian national by members of the South African Police Service, describing the incident as disturbing and calling for urgent action to end attacks on Nigerians in the country.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page, Fani-Kayode said he watched what he described as a secretly recorded video allegedly showing a Nigerian being assaulted by South African police officers in his home.
According to him, the footage, which is circulating online, left him deeply shaken.
The former minister alleged that the victim was tortured to death and decried what he described as the continued persecution, racial profiling and extrajudicial killings of Nigerians in South Africa.
He said such acts were unacceptable and should not be tolerated, adding that Nigeria must not remain silent over attacks on its citizens abroad.
