Nigerians living in the United Kingdom staged a protest outside Chatham House in London on Thursday, where they confronted and surrounded the vehicle of the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Joash Amupitan, as he was leaving the venue.
A video circulating on social media showed a group of demonstrators surrounding a black vehicle believed to be conveying the INEC chairman, pressing against it, holding papers and placards while shouting at him.
One of the protesters was heard shouting: “People are angry. This wicked, evil man, you are a criminal. Why are you running?”
The protesters raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the voters’ register, including claims of AI-generated entries, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
