Political and government leaders have continued to condemn the attack by some suspected members of the Biafra separatist group (IPOB), a former vice president of the Nigerian National Assembly, Ike Ekweramadu.
Senate Majority Leader Ahmed Lawal reacted to the group's "outrage" at Senator Ekweramadu during a conference held in Germany on Saturday, shaking his head in disgust.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Ola Ndiiyi, Ahmed Lawal said "the brutal attack on Senator Ekweremadu during a conference that invited him to raise awareness on how to advance the Igbo nation," show the disrespect and ignorance of our nation.
It is ridiculous and it is unfortunate. "
Finally, Senator Ahmed called on German authorities to immediately locate those involved in the crime.
The Director of the Nigerian Foreign Affairs Commission, Abike Debiri-Erewa, said in a statement, "What happened to the former vice president, Ike Ekweremadu, is a disgrace to Nigeria, in the eyes of the world."
She added that it was "disgraceful to the Igbo that they are the majority Nigerians in Germany."

What happened?

Former Igbo Vice-President Senator Ekweremadu has been invited by the Igbo community to present a lecture on the development and presentation of Igbo culture in Germany.
At a rally in Nuremberg, a group of "suspected" members of a militant group fighting to overthrow the southeastern Nigeria, IPOB, stormed the meeting and attacked Senator Ike Ekweremadu.
A video published by the Sahara Reporters shows how some people were locked in a coup with a former vice president of Nigeria's National Assembly.
Some of his whole body was spotted, while others were stabbing him and trying to remove his shirt, before he was able to get into a car and fled, where she was followed by a car.
IPOB members accuse Senator Ike Ekweremadu of involvement in the "scam" of the south-eastern part of Nigeria, especially due to a lack of key regional support for the secessionist movement.
The IPOB, which is banned in the country, has long been wearing a pair of trousers and local leaders for their observation of the organization of the unions.
But local leaders have long denied such allegations.
