Biarans mob Buhari in London: How Buhari was smuggled out of Kensington Close Hotel London 

General Muhammadu Buhari was smuggled out of Kensington Close Hotel London via the basement last night as angry Biafrans protesting the illegal incarceration of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu laid siege.

Angry Biafrans blocked Buhari from entry into the Kensington Close Hotel where he was billed to address Nigeria Community in the United Kingdom.

Unknown to Buhari and his entourage, angry Biafrans rushed and blocked him from entry as he entered the lobby of the hotel. It took the intervention of the Metropolitan Police to allow him passage after persuading Biafran to calm down.

This disorganised and affected Buhari's program as he could only spend about ten minutes in the supposedly town hall meeting. 

While Biafrans waited outside the hotel entrance for Buhari’s exit, his aides pleaded with the Met Police to ask them to leave. 

However, the police rebuffed them, letting them know that these people have right under the law to stay where they wanted to.

Afraid of Biafrans on his way out, he has to be smuggled through the basement of the hotel.
