Former senator Shehu Sani has condemned the harassment of INEC chairman Joash Amupitan by Nigerians in the United Kingdom.

A viral video showed people surrounding the INEC chairman's car in London and hurling insults at him over claims that he plans to rig the coming elections.

Sani reacted in a post on his account on Friday.

He asked what the point was of intimidating and harassing the INEC chairman over an election that has not yet taken place.

Shehu has also compared the behaviour to the actions of political thugs who gatecrash, insult and attack people at home.

He also said such scenes give the world a bad impression of Nigerians at a time when many abroad already see them negatively.

He added that attacking the referee before the match makes no sense.
