Xenophobia in South Africa

Tayo Faniran, recorded a live Instagram video yesterday as he was stopped by men of the South African police while he was driving to a meeting, the officer demanded to search his phone, an act which he refused to obliged to, the officer was recorded saying, he will bundle the former big brother naija housemate to the police station since he refused a search on his phone and refused to accompany them to the station in their ‘unbranded’ police vehicle.

Tayo stood his ground, and apparently, the police officer called for backup and while still on live video, Tayo was seen been strangled and bundled away before the video was ended. Tayo, was quoted saying, ‘this is the xenophobic attack we are complaining about in South Africa’
