VIDEO: Angry over passport, man vandalises cars at Nigerian high commission in UK

Jeffrey Ewohime, 32-year-old Nigerian, destroyed seven cars at the Nigerian high commission in London on Monday.

Ewohime was said to have been miffed over the difficulties in obtaining his passport which had expired since 2017.

In a statement, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chief executive officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), said Ewohime got to the high commission one hour after the period for collection of passport had elapsed.

He reportedly failed to produce some documents needed for passport collection and could not be given.

In a video of the incident obtained by TheCable, George Oguntade, Nigeria’s high commissioner to the UK, was seen inspecting the vandalised cars and asking how it happened.

One of the onlookers was heard saying “One mad boy came to collect passport and they didn’t give him, so he destroyed our cars.”

Dabiri-Erewa said it was only Oguntade’s vehicle that he did not succeed in destroying because it is bullet-proof.

Below is the video of the destroyed vehicles:
