Question posted in the Immigration Law category relating to Eastern Cape
I need help sorting this situation out. I’m in a relationship with a Nigerian man who lives in Johannesburg. He is not working & his papers have expired. A few days ago apparently he was arrested & detained. Where I do not know they have not told me but want bail or they will deport him. They are asking for 10000 rands. If I pay 5000 tomorrow he will release him. But he has my fiancé’s phone & is chatting with me via Skype. I’ve asked for details & he just wants money.
