The face of Jeffrey Apkovweta Ewohime, the 31-year-old Nigerian who smashed seven vehicles belonging to the Nigerian High Commission in London, has finally been revealed.

Ewohime has also been arrested, with details emerging that Ewohime was convicted of a previous crime by the Hackney Police.

The Chief Executive Officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, in a statement by her Special Assistant on media, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, described Ewohime’s action as despicable and condemnable.

She also slammed it as unpatriotic and urged Nigerians to exercise restraint and be good ambassadors of Nigeria in all circumstances.

Emohime, who will be 32 on 5 August, went to the Nigerian High Commission in London at 2pm on Monday to collect his passport which had expired since November 2017.

He arrived one hour after the High Commission had stopped giving out passports.

“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 bulletproof. I am told that he has been arrested by the police.”

“He destroyed seven brand new cars, except the ambassador’s car which is bulletproof. This is a despicable act, which must be condemned by all. Of course, the law must take its course.”

Nigerians have generally condemned Ewohime for his action, with some suggesting that he should check into a psychiatric hospital for some attention.

WuzupNaija further reports that the incident would not be the first time that Ewohime’s anger would get the better part of him.

Hackney police tweeted in January 2017 that Ewohime was convicted of assault after he threw food in the face of a McDonald’s staff he was in an argument with.

He was subsequently slammed a compensation fine and banned from McDonald’s.

“Jeffrey Ewohime, 29yrs, convicted of common assault after throwing food in a staff member’s face at McDonalds, Dalston after an argument,” the tweet read.

“He also hit the staff member. Sentenced to a community order, required to pay £80 compensation, given a curfew & banned from the McDonalds.”
