The Nigerians were reportedly protesting against the alleged discrimination and violation of their human rights by Indonesian immigration officials, stormed the Nigerian Embassy and vandalized some properties belonging to the Nigerian government.

The Minister who described the development as deplorably and disgraceful said: “Absolutely deplorable and disgraceful criminal behaviour by Nigerian hooligans who without justification attacked the Nigerian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia today.

“Every effort will be made to identify them and see they are severely punished. Totally unacceptable behaviour.
