The Nigerian National Committee for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism said this in an article posted on its website on July 15.

It went on:

The forced detention of DPRK's residents was not unexpectedly committed by a few individual military gangsters but under the patronage of the south Korean authorities.

The south Korean authorities have formed a "joint investigation team" with the Intelligence Service, the Ministry of Unification, the military and police involved and worked hard to threaten and coax DPRK residents drifted due to unexpected accidents into "defecting" in a bid to use them as hostages for anti-DPRK smear campaign.

Their premeditated provocation driving the inter-Korean relations into more catastrophic phase and deteriorating the situation arouses serious concern among progressive mankind.
