Nigerians Discriminated in South African Prisons

The House of Representatives has come out to boldly condemn the ill-treatment and discrimination against Nigerians living in South Africa, as over 409 convicts are currently serving jail terms there.

Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewam, the Chairman of the House Committee on Diaspora, disclosed this in a statement issued after the committee’s visit to two prisons in South Africa. She described the increasing number of Nigerians in foreign prisons as “ridiculously embarrassing.”
