The Chinese Chamber of Commerce denies the shooting of an immigration officer

The Chinese entrepreneurial community in the country denied the accusation that the filming of the immigration officer at a Chinese society was educated by a Chinese citizen.

The General Chamber of Commerce of the Chinese Director General in Nigeria, Dr. Which Guangzhen in a statement said that the shooting could never be ordered by a Chinese.

The declaration stated: “Our attention was attracted by the relationships that Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the Minister of the Interior, sentenced the shooting of an immigration officer presumably on the orders of a Chinese company that operates in Nigeria in a briefing on March 27.

“The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce attributes great importance to relations and has conducted an immediate investigation.

Based on the results of the police authority in the state of the Niger, the accident mentioned by the Minister of the Interior took place on February 21, 2025 in Minna, in the state of the Niger.

“During a police action, the State Police Forces were trying to make an arrest of some local citizens who was suspected of having stolen iron bars from a Chinese company. When he met a strong resistance of suspicion, one of the police officers shot a shot and the bullet accidentally hit a passerby who was subsequently identified to be a manager of immigration.

“The China General Chamber of Commerce would like to clearly declare the following:

Neither Chinese citizens nor Chinese companies were involved in the accident. The accusation according to which an employee of the Chinese company ordered the shooting of an Nigerian immigration officer is absolutely false.

The Chinese companies in Nigeria respect the laws and regulations of Nigeria and are engaged in the economic and social development of Nigeria.

@The China General Chamber of Commerce is saddened by the accident and sincerely wants the injured a rapid recovery. “
