A Nigerian man claims that he obtained a British passport in less than 16 months after being hit by the King’s convoy while visiting Buckingham Palace.

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the man claimed that the incident occurred while he was walking around Buckingham Palace when the royal convoy hit him.

He claims he was then offered several benefits as compensation, including a British passport, £500,000, and a monthly salary.

He explained that he was summarizing a lengthy story about how he obtained the passport while also recounting what he allegedly received following the incident.

“I got my British passport in less than 16 months. It’s actually a long story, but let me cut it short. I was going around Buckingham Palace, and I got hit by the King’s convoy,” he revealed.

The man also claimed to have been offered a monthly salary of £60,000, a house in Mayfair, and free international flights.

“They gave me a British passport immediately. They also gave me £500,000 and placed me on a £60,000 salary every month. They got me a house in Mayfair and also a private jet — not like a private jet, but anytime I’m flying anywhere in the world, I have free flights,” he added.

Social media users have expressed interest in his claims due to the circumstances surrounding his purported encounter with the royal convoy and the benefits he claimed to have received.
