The Nigerian Embassy in Germany has suspended a security staff over alleged sexual abuse and other criminal activities in Berlin.
A statement issued by the Nigerian Embassy in Berlin, Germany, said the staff, name (withheld), was suspended following the allegation in a circulated material on social media that suggested the official was demanding favors in return for official services.
Nigeria’s ambassador to Germany, Yusuf Tuggar, explained said that the embassy has zero-tolerance for any kind of abuse.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy towards abuse of office and especially of sexual misconduct. Our full resources are being deployed to investigate a very serious incident and any other abuses that this inquiry may reveal,” Tuggar said.
“The investigation is taking place with all the urgency and diligence that this very serious situation demands. When due process is complete, any guilty party can expect to face the full weight of the law. Our heartfelt sympathies are with any innocent victims of abuse.
