  "account": "The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has relocated its London passport intervention exercise to a new venue after Nigerians attending the service were allegedly evicted from the original location, according to an email sent by the Nigeria High Commission in London on September 7, 2026. The venue change came following reports that attendees at Liyali Lounge were asked to leave the facility. However, the High Commission attributed the move to \"unforeseen technical challenges.\" The new location is 56–57 Fleet Street, Temple, London, EC4Y 1JU. The initial concerns raised by Olamide Obe on X included alleged non-payment, security issues and eviction of attendees, though these could not be independently verified. The High Commission confirmed the relocation but did not elaborate on the technical issues. The UK intervention, led by the Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, aims to facilitate passport services for Nigerians living overseas, including passport acquisition, renewal or resolution of pending applications.",
