Ex-Big Brother Africa housemate
and model, Tayo Faniran, was on Thursday, assaulted and strangled by South
African police officers while driving to a meeting for a discussion about his
brand.
Recall that a Nigerian teenager
was recently killed in South Africa.
The officers stopped his car, and
ordered he rode in their car to the police station, after denying them access
to search his phone.
Faniran, who refused complying to
their order, took an instagram Live video of the scene.
“On my way to for meeting with
Odudia Classics.
“The cops just stopped me and my
boys and ordered to check our phones.
“I don’t tolerate this kind of
treatment.
“This is what they do to our
brothers here.
“I’m a Pan-Africanist,” he said.
One of police officers called in
for backup and stated they will “bundle” the former Big Brother Africa
housemate to the police station by force.
In response, Tayo stated that it
was the xenophobic act him and other Nigerians have been complaining of.
He asked if the South African
policemen could stop other cars and do that such, but got no response for that.
Following his insistence on
riding to the police station in his own car and refusal to turn off the
Instagram Live recording, Tayo Faniran was assaulted and strangled by the South
African policemen.

Tayo Faniran was later released and got emotional, as he talked about his ordeal
in the hands of the South African Police officers that assaulted him.
Thanking everyone that stood up for him, the former Big
Brother Africa housemate stated that Africa is still enslaved as what he went
through is an issue that affects every African.
According to Tayo, he was handcuffed even though he was not
a criminal and beaten continously even at the police station he was taken to.
He however disclosed that he is not angry and also not
interested in pressing charges. The reality show star concluded by saying
"this is not the Africa we should have". Here is his video below;
