"London met police officers are passing through hard times to control Nigerian protesters at the Chatham house in London. You just need to be hear (sic) to feel the tension. There is a (sic) now battle line drawn by the police between pro GEJ and pro GMB supporters."
The above were the words of a London-based Nigerian journalist and blogger, Mr Dare Lasisi, who is at the Chatham House in London to attend the event which features the presidential candidate of the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB).

It was gathered that both supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan (GEJ) and the PDP as well as supporters of General Muhammadu Buhari and the APC arrived the Chatham House venue of the event in central London as early as 7:00am GMT to take vantage positions.
The pro-GEJ supporters are at Chatham House to protest and pass a message to the world, which Buhari is to address at the event, on the sins of the 72 years old former military ruler.

To avert a violent clash among the two groups of supporters, the organizers of the event had requested for a beef up of security presence at the venue.
