Buhari Not In London – Official

President Muhammadu Buhari is not at the Abuja London House, an official told a Guardian reporter.

The reporter who had went to the House, the official residence of the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, UK, was told the President was not there.

Buhari, currently on an indefinite medical vacation is believed to be spending his break at the residence.

But the reporter while recounting his experience wrote, “At 2:50 p.m., when a black Mercedes jeep arrived, the occupant sitting by the driver rolled down the glass and asked, “Why are you here?

“When I told him that l was a reporter with The Guardian and l had come to see if the president was there and to interview him, he looked quite irritated and replied angrily: ‘he’s not here, you can’t see anybody here.’

“In an extraordinary move, two police officers, Constables Marlett and Stock, were called in by the security staff at the Abuja House to arrest the reporter.

“When both arrived on their motorcycles, they took the reporter’s name and date of birth and subsequently made a check on the national database, before staying around for about 20 minutes and then left.

“Prior to that, the security staff threatened the reporter with the police when he called at the Kensington residence to interview President Buhari about his continued stay in the UK.”

Buhari, who is currently on an indefinite vacation has been rumoured dead.

The President’s death rumour was further fuelled by the fact that the President who was expected back in the country, following the completion of his vacation, extended the vacation indefinitely.
