‘Evil man,you’re a criminal’:Tension as angry Nigerians surround INEC chairman’s car in London (VIDEO)

Nigerians living in the United Kingdom confronted INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan outside Chatham House in London, surrounding his vehicle and demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in the voters’ register ahead of the 2027 elections.

Nigerians residing in the United Kingdom on Thursday protested against the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, outside Chatham House in London.

According to Daily Post, demonstrators surrounded a black vehicle believed to be conveying Amupitan as he departed the venue, shouting accusations and displaying placards.

A viral video showed protesters pressing against the vehicle while demanding explanations over alleged irregularities in Nigeria’s voters’ register ahead of the 2027 general elections.

One protester shouted: “People are angry. This wicked, evil man, you are a criminal. Why are you running?”

The demonstrators raised concerns about suspected artificial intelligence-generated voter entries, duplicate registrations and other alleged electoral discrepancies.

They demanded greater transparency and accountability from the electoral commission to ensure credible elections.

The confrontation followed Amupitan’s appearance at Chatham House, where he discussed Nigeria’s electoral preparations.

However, the protesters’ specific allegations remain unverified, while INEC has previously acknowledged irregular registrations and announced measures to clean up the voters’ register.
