Taiwan condemns Nigeria's decision to sever ties

Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, is currently meeting with the members of the diplomatic corps in Abuja, Nigeria.

The meeting holding at the Tafawa Balewa House headquarters of the ministry in Abuja, is expected to discuss the ongoing #EndSARS protests rocking the country.

Those attending the parley include the envoys of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, amongst others.

Reports say an invitation extended to journalists to cover the briefing was later withdrawn.

#EndSARS nationwide protests against police brutality and extrajudicial killings, which about two weeks ago, have generated international interest and drawn attention to the issue of rights violation by security operatives as well as the government’s lackadaisical attitude to the problem.

Many prisoners were set free yesterday in Edo state, and today police stations have been set ablaze in Lagos; although the ugly incidents have been linked to hoodlums.
