The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri – Erewa has condemned in its entirety, the attack on a serving senator who was a former deputy senate president , Senator Ike Ekweremadu at the 2nd Annual Igbo Cultural Festival held in Nuremberg, Germany.

She described the incident as uncallwd for, an affront and an embarrassment to the country.

Relying on a source, she said that some of the culprits who perpetrated the act have been apprehended and called on the German government and law enforcement agencies to ensure that there are consequences for their actions.

In a statement on Saturday, Dabiri – Erewa said “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.”
