Community leaders and organisations have expressed concern, calling for full investigation into the shutting down of Nigerians wedding in Netherland.
They are seeking clarity on reports of police violence at the wedding involving Nigerian community members in the Netherlands.
According to eyewitness footage and reports from Peoples Gazette, Dutch police in yellow vests entered a decorated hall mid-ceremony to halt the celebration.
More than 10 uniformed officers and multiple marked police vehicles were present at the scene.
Police cut off the music and ordered guests in formal and traditional Nigerian attire to vacate the building immediately.
Authorities stated the intervention followed repeated noise complaints from local residents over loud music and late-night celebrations.
Under local Dutch laws, municipalities enforce strict noise limits and event permits, typically requiring quiet hours after 10 PM.
Dutch police say they were responding to reports of a disturbance and that force was necessary when attendees resisted.
Community representatives are urging that all facts be established transparently and without delay.
They are also calling for reassurance that minority communities can gather and celebrate safely in the country.
