The Indonesia Ambassador to Nigeria has now issued an apology over the assault meted out on a Nigerian diplomat by Indonesian immigration officers.
Geoffrey Onyeama who is Nigeria’s Foreign Minister openly condemned the assault, saying that it was rather unfortunate.
In a viral video, the victim was seen screaming in pain as he was harassed, manhandled and arrested by immigration officials on Saturday in front of his official quarters in Jarkarta, Indonesia.
The Nigerian diplomat’s hands were held and his body pinned him down in the backseat.
Onyeama condemned the incident saying it was against international law and the Vienna Conventions governing Diplomatic and Consular Relations between States.
