All you need to know about Buhari death

Nigeria’s former President Muhammadu Buhari has died at the age of 82.

The news was announced by his former aide, Bashir Ahmad, 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 in Aljannatul Firdaus. Amin,” Ahmad wrote.

Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023 after previously leading the country as a military head of state between 1983 and 1985, was widely known for his anti-corruption stance and efforts to stabilise the Nigerian economy.

The family is expected to release details of his burial arrangements soon, which will be held in line with Islamic rites.
