Indonesia’s Envoy Begs for Maltreat Of Nigerian Diplomat

 

Indonesia’s Foreign Ministry has begged for the maltreatment of a Nigerian diplomat and announced it had launched a formal investigation of the incident.
Recall that Osun Defender had earlier reported that Nigeria earlier this week recalled its ambassador to Indonesia and summoned Indonesia’s ambassador to Abuja for talks after a leaked video of Saturday’s incident went viral on social media and prompted outrage.
The video shows three Indonesian immigration officials pinning the diplomat, whose name has not been released, into the back seat of a moving vehicle. One immigration official holds the diplomat’s arm and another pushes on his head as the man screams “I can’t breathe” and “my neck, my neck.”
Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah told reporters that there had been multiple meetings with Nigerian officials since the incident, including discussions with the ambassador in Jakarta on Wednesday.
He said that the incident had been investigated by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which oversees immigration authorities, but did not give any details of the results and did not take any questions.

Nigeria on Tuesday issued a statement expressing “outrage” over the incident, saying the government “condemns in the strongest terms what is, in effect, an egregious act of international delinquency.”
