The chairman of the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said Nigeria has dragged the South African Police to court over the assault on a Nigerian resident in the country, Tayo Faniran.
The ex-Big Brother Africa housemate and Nigerian model suffered assault and was strangled by South African police on Friday.
He was going in his car when the police stopped him and assaulted him without any evidence against him.
He captured the assualt live on camera for the whole world to see what happened and later explained in another separate video how he was thoroughly tortured by the police.
According to an Instagram live video shared online, Faniran was arrested and brutally tortured after he refused to enter an unmarked police vehicle.
Dabiri-Erewa, however, got hold of the news and gave a report about the release of Faniran and said she was going to ensure justice was served in the matter.
She said that the South African Police had been sued and that a case was being pressed against them for their brutality
