How to close the Flyout menu of a Shell in Xamarin Forms programmatically?

toyins

I have created a shell with menu items. However, I want to navigate to a page outside of the shell from a button click on that page. When I'm on the button to navigate to the other page, the flyout menu does not close automatically? How do I close the flyout menu programmicatically when I click on the button?
