The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reacted to a video wherein a man identified to be a Nigerian diplomat was manhandled in Indonesia by summoning the Ambassador of Indonesia to Nigeria to explain what he knows about it.
The unnamed diplomat was seen shouting “I can’t breathe! My neck!” as he was being roughened up.
Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry in a statement on Monday said it “is in receipt of a report and has seen a video in circulation regarding an unacceptable incident in Jakarta, Indonesia, concerning the manhandling and arrest of a Nigerian Diplomatic Agent in front of his official quarters on 7 August 2021.
“This unfortunate incident is against international law and the Vienna Conventions governing Diplomatic and Consular Relations between States.
“The Nigerian Government has complained strongly to the Government of Indonesia, and the Ambassador of Indonesia to Nigeria was summoned by the Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
“The Ambassador explained what he understood happened and apologized unreservedly on behalf of the Government of Indonesia. The Nigerian Government has sent an official protest to the Government of Indonesia.
“The Ambassador of Nigeria to Indonesia has confirmed that the immigration officials involved had since come to the Nigerian Embassy to apologize to the Ambassador and the diplomat concerned.”
