In a somber announcement, the family of former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he has passed away at a clinic in London. The news was shared by his former aide, Bashir Ahmad, on social media platform X.
He expressed the family’s sorrow, stating, “The family of the former president has announced the passing on of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus. Amin.”
Muhammadu Buhari served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 until 2023, but his leadership journey began earlier when he ruled the country as a military head of state from 1983 to 1985. He was recognized for his staunch anti-corruption initiatives and his efforts aimed at economic stabilization during his time in office.
As the nation mourns the loss of a pivotal figure in its history, the family is expected to provide further details regarding the burial arrangements, which will be conducted according to Islamic rites.
