Nigerians pays for BVN registration in London

Reports have it that Nigerian in London pays to have their BVN number how awkward, a concern individual made this known to naira land how they are force to pay £30 (N 7500) just to get what is free( at no cost) here in Nigeria.

In her words : The Nigeria High Commission in London needs an urgent overhaul. This afternoon we Nigerians were treated like animals in Fleet street London all because we want to do BVN for those of us that have accounts in Nigeria. Things soon became chaotic and someone called police on us. They allowed us converge on the street and then locked us out. We are also being forced to pay £30.00 each but none of the officials or the website can explain what the money is for. Is it not free in Nigeria?
