**FG Condemns Mozambique for Brutal Treatment of 42 Nigerians** The Nigerian government has expressed its strong disapproval of the treatment meted out to about 42 of our citizens in Mozambique. The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) recently raised the alarm that these Nigerians were arrested and brutally beaten at a spare-parts market in Mozambique without any valid reasons or allegations. According to the NIDCOM, the incident is a serious concern, and the government is working to ensure that the rights of these Nigerian citizens are protected. The NIDCOM's director of media, public relations, and protocols, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, said that the commission is closely monitoring the situation and engaging with the relevant authorities in Mozambique to provide assistance to the detained Nigerians. The incident is not the first time that Nigerians have faced challenges while traveling abroad. Many of our citizens have reported similar experiences of harassment and detention at the hands of foreign authorities. However, this incident is particularly disturbing given the severity of the treatment meted out to these Nigerians. The spare-parts market in Mozambique where the incident occurred is popular with many West Africans, including Nigerians, who travel there to purchase spare parts for their vehicles. The market is a major hub for trade and commerce in the region, and it is not uncommon for foreigners to be present there. The Nigerian government has condemned the actions of the Mozambican authorities and is working to ensure that the rights of the detained Nigerians are respected. The government is also advising Nigerians traveling to Mozambique to exercise caution and to follow all local laws and regulations. This incident is a reminder of the importance of protecting the rights of Nigerian citizens while traveling abroad. The government is committed to ensuring that our citizens are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their location. The Nigerian government will continue to engage with the Mozambican authorities to resolve this situation and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
