The visually impaired student from Ghana studying international relations was reported to have arrived early to attend a debate about whether it was right to feel confident in the UK government in order to reserve an accessible seat, as he was concerned that there was no special provision for disabled people.

Reports stated that when he returned before the start of the debate, Azamati was refused entry, but when a friend arrived to accompany him, he went inside and sat down, and shortly afterward, security officials entered and appeared to manhandle him out of the building.
