Mass resignations hit Nigerian community in UK amid corruption allegations

News Update

THE President of the Nigerian community in the United Kingdom on Twitter (X), Mr Benjamin Kuti, aka Oluomo of Derby, has decided to step down from his role as the leader of the community. The social media group is made up of over 75,000 Nigerians many of whom are in different parts of the UK and sometimes hold offline meetings and celebrations.

Nigerians in the UK Twitter community had alleged financial infractions in the community’s operations and called on the leaders to be held accountable.

According to them, the expenditure moved from £9,440.41 in 2023 to £68,224.11 in 2024.

In the account balance posted, the community realised £36,035.55 for 2023 and £2,997.00 sponsorship/partnership and donations in 2024.

For the end of the year party in 2023, it spent £7,225.65, while it was £5,061.00 for 2024. It also quoted £5,350.00 for community support/donations in 2023, while £813.65 for the same in 2024.

Most of these gaps further drove the members to question the authenticity of the account balance.

For instance, one Ola Dayo on X asked, “How did expenditure go from £9,440.41 in 2023 to £68,224.11 in 2024?”

The member added, “Why is there a 2023 December end-of-year party expenditure in the 2024 account?”

He also demanded what constituted other administrative expenses as outlined in the account.

Another member, identified as Rire, who was disgruntled over the development, asked that the community account on X be deleted.

Due to the alleged malfeasance, some of the leaders have protected their posts, as members continued to demand answers about the released income and expenses account balances in the past two years.

Despite the resignation of some of the leaders, more members of the community were not satisfied as they questioned the sincerity of the decisions.
