Politics Video Investigation: Were Buhari and Amaechi Really Arrested in London?

[Vunderkind]

A YouTube video went viral quite recently as it showed UK policemen ushering Amaechi (and Buhari) into a police van. The most outrageous (and as a result, the most popular) speculation is that both men were arrested in the UK, and more speculation arose as to the nature of their crimes.

News reports have refuted this line of thought, however, as the actual incident is less astonishing (albeit embarrassing still.) General Muhammadu Buhari was booed by protesters at the Chatham house in the UK, we read, after he delivered a speech where he promised to continue with the battle for power.

According to the story, Buhari arrived with Tinubu, Oyegun, Oshiomhole, Ameachi and Fayemi where they were booed and stoned by angry people outside the venue.

This was what inspired the intervention of security personnel who hurriedly whisked him into the van for fear of the presidential aspirant being lynched.

Maybe a second watch of the video would put things in perspective:

This was not an arrest o... they were simply whisked away to safety

LOL this is the final week of political propaganda. On social media they are calling it an arrest.

Booed? I hear shouts of "Sai Baba!" "Sai Baba!!" in the video. That's not booing
