She, however, mentioned the stereotype will not be accepted as Nigerians are not criminals. She said it’s only a few that are tarnishing the image of the country and that the authorities will do their best to fish out those people.

She also said until proven guilty, no one can say Nigerians have actually committed these crimes. She mentioned that once it is a court indictment, the suspects would have to go to court and that, they are relying on the US Judicial system for a fair hearing.
