BREAKING: Buhari departs Nigeria to London for medical check-up

President Muhammadu Buhari has departed Abuja for London, the United Kingdom, for a scheduled medical check, which is expected to last for about two weeks.

The President, who initially planned embarking on the trip to London from Nairobi, Kenya, where he attended the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) 50th anniversary event, returned home last Friday.

The President’s official plane, Nigeria Air Force 1, took off from the Presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja,

Buhari was seen off at the airport by his Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari; Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Hajiya Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu; and the Director-General of Department of State Security (DSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi.

Others are Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) Sanusi Lemu, among other top government officials.

His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Mr Femi Adesina, last week hinted the routine medical in London will not exceed two weeks.
