The Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has condemned the action of a 32-year old Nigerian, Mr. Jeffrey Apkovweta Ewohime, who destroyed several properties of the Nigerian embassy in London as despicable, unpatriotic, unconscionable act of indiscipline which is condemnable.
In a statement by her media aide, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, the NIDCOM Chairman said she received a report that Emohime went to the Nigeria Embasy in London on Monday and had approached the Embassy to collect his passport which expired since November 2017 at about 2:00pm and was told collection of passports closes at 1:00pm.
Dabiri-Erewa said Emohime then insisted on collecting his passport and was told to bring his collection slip which he could not produce.
She said that according to reports from the Embassy, it would of course be wrong to hand over his passport to him without his collection slip,
Dibiri-Erewa said Emohime thereafter left agitated and returned from a nearby hotel to destroy about seven cars out of which five belonged to the mission and two to visitors who parked nearby.
Dabiri-Erewa also said that Emohime’s attempt to destroy the High Commissioner’s car failed as it is a bullet proof.
She further said; “I am told that he has been arrested by the police. This is a despicable act, which must be condemned by all. Of course, the law must take its course.”
Dabiri-Erewa implored Nigerians abroad to exercise restraint and be good ambassadors of Nigeria at all times in all circumstances.
