The Federal Government has condemned Thursday’s attack on its embassy in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, by its citizens living in the country.
The Nigerian nationals stormed the embassy and vandalised vehicles in the compound. They accused embassy officials of not offering help when they are allegedly harassed by Indonesian immigration officials.
They said a Nigerian national reportedly fell from a storey building while escaping from immigration officials.
Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama said those who destroyed property in the embassy’s premises would be tracked down and punished.
“Absolutely deplorable and disgraceful criminal behaviour by Nigerian hooligans,” he said.
Last week Friday, the Nigerian Embassy in Ghana was also attacked by a businessman, who allegedly demolished Nigeria High Commission’s staff quarters.
The businessman had allegedly claimed that the commission’s staff quarter was being built on his land.
However, the Ghanaian government has apologised to the Nigerian government and promised to rebuild the demolished part of the Nigerian High Commission building.
