The officer, identified as Ibrahim, was accosted by the police, after which he told them that he was working as an officer of the Nigerian High Commission and Consulate in Indonesia.
It was learnt that his Identification card and passport were, however, not with him during his visit to the place.
The Indonesia Police officers reportedly did not listen to his plea and he was forced down inside a vehicle where he was beaten, and he started to suffocate.
A video footage monitored by SOJ WORLDWIDE ONLINE shows how Ibrahim was tightly held on the throat in a way suggesting that they wanted to suffocate him.
He was also heard screaming that he could not breathe.
The officers had ignored his explanation and plea and continue torturing him.
