According to official statements, President Buhari is in London to treat an ear infection which from sources obtained Onlinetrigger was unable to verify.

Just hours after the demonstration, Nigeria's Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was quoted by AFP in Abuja saying the president "was in perfect health" and would return to the West African country on Sunday 19 June, instead of 16 June, as previously announced.

"I spoke with him yesterday evening and I think it is just the best that he takes the weekend off... [he is] in perfect health and ready to resume work on Monday morning,"  VP Osinbajo said.

Biafrans call for the independence of Biafran territories forcibily annexed to Nigeria during British colonisation. The movement has gained renewed momentum following the arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indeginous People of Biafra, in October 2015. Kanu, Ipob leader and director of UK-based Radio Biafra, is standing trial on six counts of treasonable felony charges.
