Former President Muhammadu Buhari has died.
His former aide, Bashir Ahmad, confirmed his passing in a post on X.
“The family of the former president has announced the passing of Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon at a clinic in London. May Allah grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. Amin,” Ahmad wrote.
Buhari served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023, having previously ruled as a military head of state from 1983 to 1985. He was widely known for his anti-corruption stance and efforts to stabilise the Nigerian economy.
Details of his burial arrangements will be announced by the family in line with Islamic rites.
