The federal government has described as disgraceful the attack on the Nigerian embassy in Indonesia.
EkoHotBlog had reported how some aggrieved Nigerians, On Thursday, stormed the embassy to protest the unjust treatments the Indonesia immigration officers subjected them to.
They averred that the Nigeria government has not done anything to stop the situation, hence leaving them at the mercy of the immigration officers.
Consequently, the protesters started destroying property on the premises of the embassy.
The protesters trooped into the embassy, broke windows, pulled down the Nigerian flag and vandalised a bus that was parked within the premises.

As they prepared to set the flag on fire, they switched between Igbo and English, shouting: “Enough is Enough”, “Nigeria cannot help us in this country”, “We Don’t Have An Embassy”, “Burn This Flag”, among other statements.
Reacting to the incident on Friday, Geoffrey Onyeama, minister of foreign affairs, described the action of the protesters as criminal.
He said the attack on the embassy was unjustified, adding that protesters will be found and dealt with.
“Absolutely deplorable and disgraceful criminal behaviour by Nigerian hooligans who without justification attacked the Nigerian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia today,” he said in a tweet.
“Every effort will be made to identify them and see they are severely punished. Totally unacceptable behaviour.”
