According to him, there are currently about 600 Nigerians arrested for overstaying their visas and in detention for other offences.
“There is no doubt that there are currently a number of Nigerians in various Chinese prisons, at least those under our consular jurisdiction in Guangzhou.
“’These our nationals are in different Chinese prisons for various offences.
“There are those that were arrested for overstaying their visas, while others were convicted for drug trafficking and other offences”.
“Any Nigerian wanting to visit any part of China must first know something about the country’s immigration requirements, and should be ready to obey laws in such places when they eventually arrive there.
“It is not advisable for any Nigerian to overstay his or her visa in any part of China or engage in any form of criminal act,’’ he said.

You job as an envoy is not to blame citizen rather to plea for their release.
Oloko is a useless rag and must be fired

They should pay for their crimes. If they are pardoned more people will engage in crime.

The envoy is correct. Obey the law of your hosts. Drug trafficking is a serious in any country even in Nigeria too, so why traffic drugs to other countries?
