The Federal Government has queried the Nigerian Ambassador to Israel for reportedly attending the relocation of the United States' embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on Monday May 14th.

CEOAFRICA gathered that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, issued the query to the ambassador shortly after the ceremony. 

An official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Federal Goverment did not give permission to any of its personnel to attend the ceremony and was shocked when AlJazeera reported that Nigeria was well represented at the ceremony.

The Minister has therefore asked news channel, AlJazeera to retract its report that Nigeria was represented at the event.

The relocation of the embassy has since resulted in widespread attacks in Gaza with over 60 persons dead.
