A group of Nigerians in solidarity on Tuesday, April 10, staged a protest outside the residence of President Muhammadu Buhari calling for him to go.
The protesters were seen carrying placards with inscriptions such as "They can't kill us all", "Protect lives not cows", "Herdsmen are boko haram members released by Nigerian government" and chanting Buhari must go.
President Buhari had departed Abuja for an official visit to the United Kingdom where he is expected to hold discussions with the British Prime Minister, Prime Minister Theresa May.
