The Nigerian Embassy in Germany has suspended a senior security staff of the embassy, simply identified as “Mr Martin” for allegedly soliciting for sex from a woman before renewing her passport.
In a viral video, “Martin” was caught with his pants off in a hotel room after he had allegedly asked the unnamed lady to have sex with him before he could release the passport.
“Let me explain, please. Please, it is not like that,” a shocked Mr Martin said on camera.
According to the voice behind the camera, Martin was accused of rampant raping of girls who came across him in the line of duty.
“Your cup is full, Martin. Your time is up… raping our girls,” the voice said.
The Nigerian Ambassador in Germany, Yusuf Tuggar, in a statement, said the embassy had opened an investigation into the matter and would not condone any form 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,” he 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,” Mr Tuggar quoted
