Chinese Embassy Responds to Allegations of Abuse Against Nigerian Workers in CAR

ABUJA — The Chinese Embassy in Nigeria has issued a cautious response following allegations made by 12 Nigerian workers recently rescued from the Central African Republic (CAR). The workers accused their Chinese employers of sexual abuse and non-payment of salaries.

In a statement, the embassy emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the claims while assuring that it is committed to protecting the rights and welfare of Nigerian citizens working abroad. The embassy also called for cooperation between relevant authorities in both Nigeria and CAR to ensure justice is served.

The allegations have sparked public concern and calls for stricter oversight of Nigerian workers employed overseas, particularly in conflict-prone regions. Authorities in Nigeria are reportedly reviewing the case and considering measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
