IPID is investigating the death of Victor Udes, who died in Lwandle SAPS holding cells on Wednesday.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate is investigating the death of 28-year-old Victor Udes who died in Lwandle police station on Wednesday.
IPID’s Moses Dlamini said: “It is alleged that the lady told the police that the deceased was involved in drug dealing. The police allege that the deceased grabbed something which was wrapped in a plastic and swallowed it. Upon being questioned, it is alleged that the deceased became unruly and swore at the police after which he was arrested for riotous behaviour.”
Protesters, mostly Nigerian immigrants, gathered at the police station on Wednesday after hearing of Udes’s death. They demanded to see Udes’s body. One person was allowed to do so, Happiness Maduora. He disputed that Dlamini killed himself.
