Nigerians in the United Kingdom have denied protesting against the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
These Nigerians under the aegis of the UK chapter of the Nigerians in Diaspora Monitoring Group (NDMG) said media reports that there was a protest against President Buahri are false.
In a statement signed by the UK coordinator of the group, Adeka Onyilo, NDMG said some mischievous Nigerians in the UK are working towards recruiting uniformed persons who would embarrass the Nigerian government.
Onyilo said these individuals are aimed at tainting the image of the anti-corruption fight of President Buhari in Nigeria.
He said these Nigerians also hope to use the recruits gathered for anti-corruption crusade that could help corrupt individuals escape justice in Nigeria.
Onyilo however said that no member of the NDMG any any other groups to the best of his knowledge stage a protest in the UK.
He said: "The group has confirmed that Mr President is not in any critical condition that calls for Nigerians to worry."
"The NDMG believes in and will continue to identify with the laudable achievements of President Buhari especially in the areas of fighting corruption and defeating Boko Haram terrorism and routing the group from Nigeria’s soil," Onyilo said.
He added that the pockets of isolated attacks in the North-East are challenges also faced across the globe.
He said: "To this ends, the NDMG (UK) wishes to salute the efforts of the Nigerian Army which led other security partners to flush the insurgents out of their stronghold."
"No amount of honour is enough for the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Buratai and the gallant troops under his command that performed the magic that has brought so much honour to the country abroad.
"To the extent that the people are celebrating the peace that has returned to their various communities across the north east and local government elections holding in all the wards of Yobe State on Saturday February 11, 2017, we hereby declare that there are indisputable facts that the Nigerian Military have delivered and must be commended."
During the nationwide protest on Monday, February 6, some Nigeria media reported that Nigerians in the UK were marching in protest against the present Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
The reports were followed with the release of various old and fake pictures depicting an ongoing protest in the United Kingdom.
The photos also showed some Nigerians positioned in front of the Nigerian High Commission in London.
The scores of protesters were allegedly demanding that President Buhari who is currently away in London for a medical vacation address the crowd.
However, Onyilo warned these reports should be ignored while he said that those attempting tarnish the image of Nigeria to have a rethink and desist from such.
Recall The Forefront published a story investigated by Naij.com that fake Uk protest photos were used on monday by top Nigerian Media to report unconfirmed protests by Nigerians in the Uk. (Read that report here)
