‘You are a criminal, why are you running?’ — Protester shouts at INEC Chairman in Chatham, UK [Video]

Nigerians living in the United Kingdom on Thursday staged a protest outside Chatham House in London, where they confronted and surrounded the vehicle conveying the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Amupitan, as he left the venue.

A video circulating on social media showed demonstrators surrounding a black vehicle believed to be carrying the INEC chairman, holding papers and placards while shouting at him.

One of the protesters was heard shouting: “People are angry. This wicked, evil man, you are a criminal. Why are you running?”

The demonstrators reportedly raised concerns over alleged irregularities in the voters’ register ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Their complaints included claims that some entries in the register were artificially generated using artificial intelligence (AI), although the allegations were not independently established in the supplied report.

The protest occurred after Amupitan’s engagement at Chatham House in London, where he had spoken on preparations for the 2027 general elections.
