the conveners and others, on Monday and which continued on Tuesday at the Abuja
House in London and at the Millennium park, opposite the Unity Fountain,

firing tear gas canisters and high velocity stream of water to disperse them.
The protesters under the aegis of Concerned Nigerians and
“Our Mumu Don Do” Advocacy, who marched from Unity Fountain near the Transcorp
Hilton Hotel to the gate of Presidential Villa, where they made their demands.
They lamented that for over 90 days President Buhari left
and lived outside the country leaving room for persons they referred to as
unelected individuals to manipulate the institutions of state. They also
accused his aides and associates of stage managing Buhari’s health status and
failing to open up to Nigerians to the true situation with the president.
