President Buhari Didn't Die In London, He's Alive – Garba Shehu Reacts To Rumour
This evening, fake news that President Muhammadu Buhari passed away in London was being spread on the internet.
Metro UK reported –
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died in a London Hospital where
he was receiving medical care, the Nigerian Mission in UK has said.
According
to the information released by the Nigerian Embassy, Buhari left the
West African country for a vacation in the U.K in order to undergo
medical checks.
One of the President’s aides who accompanied him
to the U.K and spoke on condition of anonymity said the President has
been battling an “unknown disease” for a while now.
Though the
decision to receive medical care in a foreign land angered some of his
countrymen, the Nigerian community in London have expressed deep shock
for the President’s demise.
It is the second time in a year that
Buhari has sought medical treatment outside Nigeria ; he also traveled
to London in June 2016 and saw an ear, nose and throat specialist after
contracting an ear infection.
However, Official Spokesperson to the President of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria (SSA, Media & Publicity) Garba Shehu confirmed less than
30 minutes ago that the President is still holidaying in Europe, alive
and well.
