The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, was accused by protesters during a visit to London on Thursday, November 12.
The protesters surrounded a vehicle conveying him outside Chatham House, shouting accusations against him and the electoral commission, which some described as a “criminal organisation”.
The demonstrators, reportedly Nigerian diaspora activists, called for his resignation over allegations of irregularities in the preliminary voters’ register.
Their complaints reportedly included claims of duplicate entries, the use of artificial intelligence-generated images and the existence of fake polling units.
The protest took place as Amupitan visited Chatham House, where he was scheduled to participate in a discussion on Nigeria’s electoral process.
The allegations raised by the demonstrators have not been independently established in the information provided.
