Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, has condemned the attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu at the second annual Igbo Cultural Festival held in Nuremberg, Germany.
In a statement in Abuja, the Chairman of NIDCOM, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa said that the incident was an embarrassment to the country.
She also said that it is shamefully pathetic that an event, which was nobly put together by the Ndi-Igbo community whose members make up the majority of Nigerians living in Germany, ended up in such a disgraceful manner.
Mrs. Dabiri-Erewa noted that the event was to provide a forum for the Diasporans and various stakeholders to network and facilitate better cooperation between German and Nigerian businesses.
She disclosed that some of the culprits had been apprehended and called on the German government and law enforcement agencies to ensure that there are consequences for their actions.
She also appealed to Nigerians to be of good behaviour wherever they find themselves as such unruly incidents tarnish the image of the country.
Sen. Ekweremadu confirmed the attack in a statement released by his Media Assistant, Uche Anichukwu in Abuja.
