Many Nigerians residing in South Africa staged a protest in front of the police station to demand justice over the weekend for the death of a Nigerian man they believe was tortured to death.
The Nigerian man who is alleged to have swallowed hard drugs and was in possession of fake passport while being chased by South African police, died in the Kempton Police station where he was taken to after he was arrested.
Some Nigerians say contrary to what is being reported, the young man had a passport that was to expire this January and out of fear, started to run from the police. They say the police officers caught up with him, beat him up and then took him to their station where he died. However an autopsy to show whether he truly swallowed any drug is being awaited.
Nigerians stormed Kempton Police Station demanding for justice.
Friends of the deceased said he was tortured to the point of death.
To cover up their mess, the police alleged that the Nigerian man died of drug overdose.
Height of cruelty
