The household of a Nigerian citizen, Mr Abdul Olatunji, imprisoned in South Africa since 2019, is urgently calling on the Nigerian authorities, in addition to the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Fee, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, to intervene and save his life.
They allege that Olatunji is the sufferer of false and malicious fees, orchestrated by corrupt South African officers and xenophobic enterprise rivals.
A petition submitted by Olatunji’s household via Ben Abraham, founding father of the worldwide human rights group, Zarephath Assist, painted a grim image of a businessman and humanitarian dealing with imminent hazard in a South African jail.
The petition additionally highlighted the toll the case has taken on the household, revealing that their mom handed away as a result of trauma brought on by the extended ordeal.
The household has referred to as for instant motion from the Nigerian authorities to forestall a tragedy. “If the Nigerian authorities doesn’t intervene, a citizen who has persistently introduced honour to Nigeria and improved the lives of Nigerians in South Africa may die at any second. “He has been focused by rogue South African brokers,” they mentioned.
