Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, condemned the act in a tweet via his handle @Geoffrey Onyeama on Friday.

“Absolutely deplorable and disgraceful criminal behaviour by Nigerian hooligans, who without justification, attacked the Nigerian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia today.

“Totally unacceptable behaviour.

“Every effort will be made to identify them and see they are severely punished,’’ he twitted.

Last week Friday, Nigerian Embassy in Ghana was also attacked by a businessman, who allegedly demolished Nigeria High Commission’s staff quarters.

However, Ghanaian government has apologised to Nigerian government and promised to rebuild the demolished part of the Nigerian High Commission building.
