Govt reacts to viral video of a Nigerian National tortured in Pakistan over debt of a suspected drug deal

Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, Chaired by Hon. Abike Dabiri have reacted to the disturbing footage of a Nigerian man begging and crying as a dreaded Pakistani gang tortures him because his “uncle” owes them huge sum of money suspected to be for a drug related transaction.

According to reports, the man’s brother named Andrew used him as a collateral for a business with the group. However, as Andrew didn’t show up to pay what he owes, the gang tortured the human collateral he left behind and filmed it to serve as a warning.
