The Nigerian Government has outrightly condemned the alleged maltreatment of some Nigerian businessmen in China.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that some Nigerians who had travelled to China for business purposes were reportedly chased out of their hotel rooms by the Chinese authorities.

The minister said he also expressed the concern of the Nigerian government over the allegations of maltreatment.
“Invited the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Zhou Pingjian to communicate Nigeria’s extreme concern at allegations of maltreatment of Nigerians in Guangzhou, China and called for immediate Chinese Govt. intervention,” he tweeted.
