It was gathered that the Nigerian official suffered maltreatment because the Indonesian immigration officers were not satisfied with the diplomatic documents he gave to them on Saturday in front of his official quarters in the Asian country.

In a video circulating on social media, three immigration officers could be seen in a vehicle assaulting the Nigerian official, ignoring his screams of pain and plea.

While two of the men held his hands and pinned him down in the backseat, another freely assaulted his unprotected head as he screamed “My neck”, “I can’t breathe!”.

Reacting to the video, Geoffrey Onyema, Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed dissatisfaction over the ugly incident which he said was against international law and the Vienna Conventions governing Diplomatic and Consular Relations between states.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it had summoned the Indonesian Ambassador to Nigeria, Usra Hendra Harahap, who had also tendered an unreserved apology over the ill-treatment meted out to its Diplomatic Agent in the country.
