The Chinese Embassy in Nigeria has reacted to the allegations made by 12 Nigerian workers recently rescued from the Central African Republic, who accused their Chinese employers of sexual abuse and non-payment of salaries.
Reacting to the reports circulating in the media, a Chinese official disclosed that the Embassy has attached great importance to the matter.
While the Embassy said it will investigate the issue, it emphasised that the allegations are being taken seriously and that due process will be followed.
The reaction comes after the Nigerian workers, who arrived back in the country last week, narrated harrowing experiences of abuse, starvation, and non-payment of wages at the hands of Chinese mining employers in Central African Republic.
