The group demanded that the absentee president, who left the country 92 days ago, should return home soon or resign from his position. The protest ended a little after noon.

President Buhari left the country on May 7 to resume treatment in London for an undisclosed illness, leaving Acting President Yemi Osinbajo in charge of the country's affairs.

77 days after he left the country, pictures of him finally surfaced online when he met with state governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on July 23, at the Abuja House in London.

Since then, he has met with another delegation of Nigerian governors, as well as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, on Friday, August 4.

The president and his team have insisted that his return is imminent, but there has been no confirmed date.
