Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari, has passed away at the age of 82.
He died on Sunday in a medical clinic in London, United Kingdom.
The news was confirmed by his former spokesperson, Garba Shehu, in a post on X (formerly Twitter):
“The family of the former president has announced the passing of Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London.
May Allah accept him into Aljannatul Firdaus. Amin.”
Buhari’s death marks the end of a significant era in Nigeria’s democratic history, having led the nation through two presidential terms.
His passing abroad highlights a continuing pattern of Nigerian leaders seeking medical treatment outside the country.
