Martins Oni, a security guard at the Nigerian embassy in Germany has been sacked.
In November, Oni was suspended after he was caught on video allegedly soliciting sex in exchange for a passport.
In the viral video, which sparked off reactions on social media, the security guard was seen in a hotel where he had planned to meet a woman for sex in order to facilitate the issuance of her passport.
Yusuf Tuggar, Nigeria’s ambassador to Germany, had ordered investigation into the incident, saying the security guard would face the law if found guilty.
