October 19, (THEWILL) – The Chinese Government has denied reports it has opened police stations in Nigeria and in over 20 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa.
A report by human rights watchdog, Safeguard Defenders, titled ‘110 Overseas Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild’, had alleged the Chinese Government set up the “overseas police stations” across Africa, Europe and America, to crack “down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities involving overseas Chinese.”
The report claimed that the move by the Chinese Government was aimed at tackling the increasing criminal activities of its citizens abroad.
Refuting the report, an official of the Chinese Embassy in Abuja, said it was a fake report made by an anti-China human rights NGO in Europe.
“There is no Chinese police station in Nigeria or others.”
“What is there is only a category of outreach service to Chinese communities.”
“China doesn’t have any intention or spare energy to run police station outside”, the official said.
