London protestors attack Congo president’s top aide

THE chief of staff to the Democratic Republic of Congo’s President Joseph Kabila has been assaulted and robbed in northwest London, outside a TV studio.

Leonard She Okitundu was attacked by protestors who beat him with a baseball bat, stripped him of his clothes, and posted pictures of them on the Internet, the Guardian newspaper reported yesterday.

A spokesman for London’s Metropolitan Police said officers were called to the area at around 5.30pm on Wednesday “after a disturbance between Congolese officials and protestors.”
