The video in question involved a man, referred to as Mr Martin by the person who recorded the encounter, inside what appeared to be a hotel room.
In the clip, Mr Martin was caught with his pants down in the company of a topless woman believed to have been pressured to sleep with him to have her passport renewed, according to unconfirmed reports.
“Your cup is full, Martin. You’re raping our girls,” the man who recorded the video alleged.
Martin appeared to defend himself by saying the sexual activity was consensual with no strings attached.
Nigeria’s Ambassador to Germany, Yusuf Tuggar, said in Tuesday’s statement that the embassy has a zero-tolerance policy towards abuse of office, especially one involving sexual misconduct.
