South Africa investigates death of Nigerian who collapsed during arrest

The South African authorities are investigating the death of a Nigerian man who collapsed while he was being arrested by police in Cape Town last week.

Earlier this month, the South African authorities confirmed the death of another Nigerian in June under similar circumstances.

Last week, leaders of the West African regional bloc Ecowas condemned reported attacks on African migrants in South Africa, as Nigeria and Ghana raised the issue at a summit in Sierra Leone.
