- According to the commission's Sunday statement, the detained Nigerians were handpicked at a spare‑parts market in Mozambique and confirmed legal residents, with NiDCOM calling it a selective roundup.
- The commission said some detainees were allegedly beaten, had confiscated personal belongings, and several detainees reported sick and requiring medical attention.
- NiDCOM noted the Mozambique Attorney General's reported lack of known charges against the 42 detained Nigerians and demanded justice. Ms Dabiri-Erewa said, "Our citizens deserve to be treated with dignity and fairness wherever they are. I urge the Mozambican authorities to do the right thing and ensure justice is served."
- NiDCOM reiterated its call for fair treatment and respect for Nigerians living abroad and insisted suspected offenders be arraigned in Mozambican courts rather than detained without explanation.
