Nigeria High Commission in UK suspends e-passport biometrics capture over ‘assault of staff’
The Nigeria High Commission in London has suspended biometric capturing for persons interested in applying for the e-passport.
In 2021, the federal government launched the enhanced e-passport to address issues of forgery and improve the application process.
According to a statement issued by the commission on Saturday, the biometrics capture was suspended after a meeting to deliberate on issues surrounding assault of staff members.
The suspension is effective from March 28, 2022.
