Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chief
executive officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), has identified
the man who destroyed vehicles at the Nigerian high commission in London as
Jeffrey Ewohime, saying he has been arrested.
In a statement issued on her
behalf by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, her media aide, she described his attitude as
unpatriotic.
Dabiri-Erewa said she received a
report that Emohime went to the Nigeria high commission in London on Monday to
collect his passport which had expired since November 2017.
He was said to have got there
around 2pm which was an hour after collection of passports had closed.
“He then insisted on collecting
his passport , and was told to bring his collection slip which he could not
produce,” the statement read.
“According to reports from the
high commission, it would of course be wrong to hand over his passport to him ,
without his collection slip. He thereafter left agitated and returned from a
nearby hotel to destroy about seven cars, 5 belonging to the mission, and 2 to
visitors who parked nearby.
“His attempt to destroy the High
Commissioner’s car failed as it is a bullet proof. I am told that he has been
arrested by the police.”
“He destroyed seven brand new
cars , except the ambassador’s car which is bullet proof. 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 in all circumstances.
