“The Embassy of Nigeria in Germany announced today that it has suspended with immediate effect a local staff (security unit) in connection with allegations of sexual abuse and other serious criminal activity,” the embassy said in a statement on its Twitter handle.

“The staff, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was suspended following the circulation of material on social media that suggested the official was demanding sexual favours in return for official services.”

Our full resources are being deployed to investigate a very serious incident and any other abuses that this inquiry may reveal.
