Ewohime, according to information was aroused anger over the difficulties he experienced in processing and obtaining his international passport which had expired since 2017.

Shedding light on the development, a representative group of Nigerians abroad, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, said Ewohime had, at 2:00 p.m., arrived at the High Commission to collect his passport but an officer he approached told him the collection of passports closed at 1:00 p.m., but while he insisted on collecting the passport, the embassy officials later requested his collection slip which he could not produce.

After a while, “he left agitated and returned from a nearby hotel to destroy about seven cars, some belonging to the mission, and some to guests who parked nearby,” the Commission said.
