The embassy said in a statement on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 the staff works in its security unit and cannot be named for legal reasons.
He was suspended following the circulation of a video on social media that suggested he was demanding sexual favours in return for official services.
The video in question involved a man, referred to as Mr Martin by the person who recorded the encounter, inside what appeared to be a hotel room.
In the clip, Mr Martin was caught with his pants down in the company of a topless woman believed to have been pressured to sleep with him to have her passport renewed, according to unconfirmed reports.
"Your cup is full, Martin. You're raping our girls," the man who recorded the video alleged.
Martin appeared to defend himself by saying the sexual activity was consensual with no strings attached

ReplyDeleteThat Nigerian Embassy in Berlin and most of the Embassies in Europe should layoff all the staffs, including the councilors and even the ambassadors.
ReplyDeleteThese people are making life difficult for many Nigerians... I don't understand why it would take forever to get a Nigerian passport while it takes only three working days to get a European passport.
Wait till you go to the Nigerian Embassy in NYC then you’ll come across some of the nastiest staff ever. Very rude and indisciplined.
DeleteLolzz I watched the video this morning..I laugh tire..The last part killed me when the guy was speaking Yoruba and Igbo in one sentence..It serves him right...
ReplyDeleteNigerians are so corrupt even in another country.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't some of these people put their peepee in one place?
DeleteEnough with the generalization!
DeleteUseless idiots!!!! In fact most Nigerian guys abroad frustrate Nigerian girls abroad that need assistance. I know God ll remove one of them that is on my case soonest
ReplyDeleteSame happens in the Nigerian embassy in India.
ReplyDeleteIt is like a cult there. Involving some staff of the embassy and some agents.
The body language of Nigeria embassies abroad is one of not happy seeing you and with murmurings of why did you leave Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteWomen are truly suffering. You called a woman ashawo but you can't help them without sleeping with them. What then are you? So shameful and disgraceful. He has been doing that for long. Such wickedness.
ReplyDeleteIf these women were legally living in Germany, why couldn't they report this extortion to the German authorities?
ReplyDeleteLegal or illegally isnt the point raised here maam.
DeleteLet me help you there. The embassy of a country is outside the reach of the host country. Legally, the embassy itself, it's official quarters, some of its staff and even the property of the embassy eg vehicles are granted diplomatic immunity.
DeleteSince the sex happened at a private business i.e. a hotel,the police may ha e been called but once he flashes an ID card showing that he is diplomatic staff, the worst the host country can do is vex and ask that he be removed from their soil and tried at home. Remember the murder of Ibrahim kasshoggi in the Saudi embassy in Turkey.
His time is up
ReplyDeleteThis is so shameful. Germany has legal prostitution, why can't these men go procure the service of women in that business and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
ReplyDeleteRubbing up on us in packed transit, trying to touch us as we walk down the street, demanding sex for courses in university, demanding sex for employment in the workplace. What tf is wrong with men?
Entitlement and indiscipline
DeletePeople like this man are tainting the good Nigerians with their evil brush.😫🤮🤮
ReplyDeleteImagine what is happen in Nigerian Embassies in different countries. When successive leaders have failed to enforce laws and punish offenders, THE RESULTS ARE WEAK INSTITUTIONS AND ANARCHY.
Imagine what is *happening*... (sorry for my error)
DeleteSleep with lecturers to pass exams,
ReplyDeletesleep with Nysc officials to get good posting,
sleep with HR manager to get a job,
sleep with oga to get promotion,
sleep with alfa/pastor to pray for you to get Visa,
sleep with sugar daddy to sponsor you to travel abroad.
Finally when God take you to the abroad you are sleeping again just to renew Visa in a foreign land where their system works. Shame to the women that gave in to this man. Enough of using your bodies like a piece of rag. If anyman tries to use sex as a tool to get you especially in a place where their system still works, report the madafker.
Many people don’t have privilege: poor, illegal migrants etc This is insensitive and unnecessary.
DeleteSee them. Blaming the victims. Women hating women. We know your kind
DeleteWell said Bibi. While the male folks bear most of the blame, we shouldn't also forget to blame ourselves.
DeleteProudly feminist I stand on the truth, in Nigeria it is possible to give in to sexual demands in exchange for things and nobody will bait an eyelid or come to your rescue. I would turn to a millionaire if someone tries to sexually abuse me abroad, so we should always learn to fight instead of giving to things like this.
Deletewhile your points are all valid, add this too...some females have been programmed with the mentality that their vaginas can/will get them all they want, hence the voluntary effort...
DeleteI wish someone will ask me for this in NYC!!! OMG! Nigerian government will pay me millions to settle rape case😍. Na TV station I go call sef and even get green card from there. I don’t know why things like this don’t happen to me. I think my face is too strong.
ReplyDeleteLol
