Buhari has been on a 15–day “private visit” in the United Kingdom since November 2. He was due to return on November 17.
On Thursday, a Nigerian diplomatic car believed to have been carrying the president was booed by an angry mob in the UK.
Many of the protesters carried placards calling for freedom for the detained publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore. Others condemned the treatment of the leader of the Shiite movement in Nigeria, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.
“Buhari, Stop Poisoning Sheikh Zakzaky,” one of the placards read.
“Omoyele Sowore is not a criminal,” another placard read.
