Dabiri-Erewa Wants Swift Prosecution Of Ekweremadu’s Attackers
By Editor
The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa has called for the immediate prosecution of the alleged IPOB activists who assaulted Senator Ike Ekweremadu at the 2nd Annual Igbo Cultural Festival held in Nuremberg, Germany.
Senator Ekweremadu who was attending as a speaker/special guest of honor at the event organized by the Ndi-igbo Germany community was reportedly assaulted by some Igbo activists who were identified as errant members of IPOB.
While observing that the incident is an embarrassment to the country, she revealed that some of the culprits who perpetrated the act have been apprehended as she called on the German government and law enforcement agencies to ensure that there are consequences for their actions.
“It is also shamefully pathetic that an event which was nobly put together by the Ndi-Igbo community in Germany whose members make up the majority of Nigerians living in Germany, to amongst other things provide a forum for the Diasporans and various stakeholders to network and to facilitate a better cooperation between German and Nigerian businesses, ended up in such a disgraceful manner.
“We appeal to Nigerians to be of good behavior wherever they find themselves because such incidents tarnish the image of the country.”
