Tongues have continued to wage war over the inhuman treatment melted out on a Nigerian Diplomat by their Indonesia counterpart.
The latest is coming from a former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode who called on the Federal Government to reciprocate the burtalisation of a staff of the Nigerian High Commission in Indonesia.
A viral video on Tuesday saw Indonesian police brutalising a Nigerian diploma in a most dehumanising manner.
Responding to this, Fani-Kayode condemned the act, saying the Nigerian government must reciprocate the brutalisation of the Nigerian.
In his words: “A staff of the Nigerian High Commission in Indonesia is brutalised by the Indonesian authorities. This is unacceptable and I wholeheartedly condemn it.
“Have we no national pride, self-respect and dignity anymore? Even the Indonesians have taken us for granted. Try this with a western diplomat and all hell will break loose.
“The Indonesian Ambassador in Nigeria ought to be summoned by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and warned. Our country may not be perfect but it is still our country.
“No Nigerian deserves to be brutalised in this manner by foreigners anywhere in the world. I weep for my country.”
Reacting to the ugly development, Geoffrey Onyema, Minister of Foreign Affairs, summoned the Indonesian Ambassador to Nigeria, Usra Hendra Harahap.
In a statement, Nigeria’s foreign affairs ministry said the Indonesia envoy confirmed that the incident happened in his country and he tendered an apology.
