Concerns Grow Over Buhari’s Undisclosed Illness in UK

There are growing concerns over the health of former President Muhammadu Buhari, 82, who was in the United Kingdom for what was described as a “routine check-up.”

Although the specific nature of his illness was not made public, reports indicated that he had spent several days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a UK hospital. He was discharged from the ICU last week.

However, his media aide, Mallam Garba Shehu, who confirmed that Buhari is still is currently receiving medical treatment in the United Kingdom said he is responding well to the treatment.

According to him, “It is true that the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, is unwell. He has been receiving treatment in the UK,” Shehu said.

“You would recall he made it known that he was going for his annual medical check-up. He became ill there, but I am happy to announce to you that he is doing well in his recovery while receiving treatment. We pray for his healthy recovery.”

Buhari, who left office in May 2023 after serving two terms, had a history of medical travels during his presidency, with extended stays in the UK for treatment.

Shehu, however, did not indicate when former President Buhari would return to Nigeria.
