Hon.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians In Diaspora Commission
(NIDCOM) has described the attitude of a 32-year old Nigerian, Jeffrey Apkovweta
Ewohime who destroyed several properties of the Nigerian embassy in
London as despicable and condemnable.
In
a statement by her media aide, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Mrs. Dabiri said that such
an attitude was unpatriotic, and an unconscionable act of indiscipline.
According
to her, 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 Nov 2017 at about 2 p.m and was told collection of passports closes at
1pm. He then insisted on collecting his passport, and was told to bring his
collection slip which he could not produce.
According
to reports from the Embassy, 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 near-by.
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".“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.
