The Federal Government has threatened to review the bilateral relationship with Indonesia if it fails to bring the Indonesian immigration officials that assaulted a Nigerian diplomat to book.

The government stated this following a trending video showing the unnamed Nigerian diplomat being attacked by Indonesian officials in Jakarta. He was pinned down in a car and he could be heard shouting, ‘I can’t breathe.’

The FG had on Monday summoned the Indonesian ambassador in Nigeria, Dr Usra Harahap, who apologized on behalf of the Government of Indonesia.

But speaking on the development at a briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffry Onyeama, said the FG had received a full report of the incident, noting that the government condemned the assault on the diplomat by the Indonesian agents.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a comprehensive report from the Nigerian ambassador in Indonesia on the manhandling and arrest of a Nigerian diplomat.

“The MFA had previously summoned the Indonesian ambassador to the ministry to express outrage and to protest strongly.

“After studying the report of the Nigerian ambassador, the Nigerian Government condemns in the strongest terms what is in effect an egregious act of international delinquency by Indonesian state actors against an accredited representative of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with absolutely no justification and against international law.”

The ministry reaffirmed its “resolve to protect the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians wherever they are in the world, and calls for calm as consultations continue,” he said.

Seven Long Island teens were arrested Friday on charges of gang assault in connection with the fatal stabbing of a high school student who was recorded by viewers earlier this month.

Prosecutors say the teens were involved in the fight on September 16 in Nassau County, which left Khaseen Morris dead — a 16-year-old student at Oceanside High School. They were arrested on Friday.

Earlier this week, Tyler Flach, aged 18, of Lido Beach, L.I., was charged with second degree murder. He is being held without bail.

Police said between 50 and 70 teenagers watched the bloody fight, and several recorded the fight on cell phones, doing nothing to help Morris.

The victim’s sister told Newsday she was comforted by the additional arrests.

“People can’t do this to someone so good and they think there will be no justice whatsoever,” Keyanna Morris, 30, told the newspaper.

Among those arrested were Haakim Mechan, 19, Marquis Stephens, 18, Javonte Neals, 18, Taj Woodruff, 17, and Taj Woodruff, 17, and Sean Merritt, 17, all in Long Beach.

They all pleaded not guilty to the high school gang attack on their Saturday accusation in Hempstead.

Two 16-year-olds were also charged with gang aggression but were not identified by police because of their age. Scott Gross, a lawyer for one of the 16-year-olds, said his client “had no role” in the murder.

Detective Lieutenant Stephen Fitzpatrick told a news conference on Saturday that the fight at a mall near Oceanside High School began because Morris was with the ex-girlfriend of one of the suspects.

Fitzpatrick said all suspects participated in the attack on Morris.

“Each of them played an active role,” he said. “They came with the intention of seriously hurting you. Khaseen was killed as a result.

“It’s the first step toward justice,” Fitzpatrick said about the arrests, according to WPIX-TV.

Morris’s funeral was being held on Saturday.
