00:00The prominent Pan-African and pro-Russian activist Kemi Sabah peered in court in South Africa's capital, Pretoria,
00:08along his son in the South Africa National, accused of a breach of immigration laws, according to local police.
00:17We have confirmed the passport of the accused person, accused number two.
00:23That is a legit passport, your ship. It's a diplomatic passport from the Niger country, your ship.
00:31It is confirmed by the embassy of Niger in this country.
00:34The anti-Western influencer, whose real name is Telio Gizrobe Campocichi, has around 1.5 million followers on social media.
00:44He was arrested along his son.
00:47We did manage to consult with him. The conditions are not good for them.
00:51Remember, he was arrested with his son. They are separated. He is isolated.
00:56He is very treated as a high-risk person in this country.
00:59So it is also very difficult for us to consult with him legally.
01:03Hence, we are only getting the opportunity to talk to him when we are in court.
01:06We tried to visit him in prison. We were denied access.
01:12But I am of the belief that it is because of the high-risk situation that they are referring to.
01:17Benin had issued an international warrant for the influencers' arrest on December 12 after he supported a foil coup in
