Buhari Leaves For London

The Special Adviser To the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, who disclosed this in a statement on Monday, said Buhari is expected back in Nigeria in the second week of November.

“President Muhammadu Buhari leaves for London, United Kingdom, October 31, 2022, for routine medical check-up.

“He returns to the country in the second week of November 2022,” the terse statement reads.

No prior information was provided to indicate that the trip was planned, as Buhari had early in the day presided over an emergency National Security Council meeting in the State House in Abuja, Monday.

KanyiDaily had earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari summoned an emergency meeting with security chiefs on Monday after some countries issued alerts on the likelihood of attacks in parts of Nigeria.
