The House of Representatives Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Wednesday said that the matter of maltreatment of Nigerians in China has been settled.

The speaker stated this in a series of tweet on his Twitter handle- @femigbaja.

He said, “I’m glad the matter of maltreatment of Nigerians in China has been sorted out between both countries.

“The Ambassador has communicated his findings and we hope that moving forward communication will be swift and clear and due process will be observed even where there are allegations of wrongdoing by citizens of other countries.

“It is important that we follow up on this and Nigerians can legitimately go about their business in the People’s Republic of China.

“I spoke with the Acting Consul General, Mr Razak Lawal whose robust defence of the rights of Nigerians in China went viral and I salute the gentleman diplomat for his dedication to duty and his patriotism.”

A recent video that trended online had shown inhuman treatment being meted out to Nigerians.
