“In light of the viral video circulating the social media and news, showing some of our delegates interacting with some Nigerian Mobile Police officers (MOPOL) in Kaduna. We ‘d like to take a moment to address the issue amicably. The way and manner the video has been shared and interpreted has led to some serious misunderstandings. So, we want to be very clear:
“No money was given to the officers on any demand or request, there was no bribe, no illegal exchange but on good faith appreciating their professionalism. What you see in the video was a friendly and open interaction – nothing was done in secret and nothing inappropriate happened.
It’s a common Chinese tradition, where we come from, to show appreciation or kindness to people who are doing their jobs well – especially when they’ve been helpful or respectful. That was all what it was: a kind gesture, not a payoff or alleged bribe. We also want to say this very sincerely – we are sorry about how this played out,despite this experience, we remain committed to Nigeria.
We humbly request for continued security operatives for the smooth sailing of our operations here in Nigeria as well as safety purposes.
We feel secured and at home with them around. Our sincere apologies once again.” His statement reads
