Reacting to the incident, Tuggar described it as unfortunate, assuring that Nigerians in Germany are disciplined and do not take laws into their hands.
“The incident involving Sen Ekweremadu at Nuremberg Germany is most unfortunate,” Tuggar said.
“He is ok and I have assured him the Embassy will look into the matter thoroughly.
“Overwhelming majority of Nigerians in Germany are disciplined and law-abiding and the incident didn’t stop the event.”
