Some Nigerians in Indonesia had on Thursday attacked the Nigerian Embassy in Jakarta over alleged discrimination and infringement of their rights by Indonesian immigration officials.

In a video circulating online, the placard-carrying protesters were heard chanting, “Nigeria is not helping us in this country. We don’t have an Embassy. We no go ‘gree.”

Some of them were seen vandalising a white bus on the premises of the Embassy building while others broke the windows and doors of the building.

The angry mob also brought down the Nigerian flag and shred it after dragging it for some minutes.

“Absolutely deplorable and disgraceful criminal behaviour by Nigerian hooligans who without justification attacked the Nigerian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia today.
