  "account": "Nigerian protesters blocked the vehicle of Prof. Joash Amupitan, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in London on Thursday. The demonstrators, believed to be Nigerians living abroad, heckled Amupitan and demanded his resignation over allegations of irregularities in the preliminary voters' register ahead of the 2027 general elections. The protesters accused INEC of compromising its impartiality and favoring President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress. They cited concerns about duplicate voter registrations, AI-generated photographs, and questionable polling units in the voters' register. The protest occurred amid growing public criticism of INEC following the circulation of images and records showing suspicious entries in the voters' register. INEC later disclosed that they had removed 1,608,660 invalid voter registrations and 873 records belonging to deceased persons.",
