President Buhari is Dead?

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 UK in order to undergo medical checks.

One of the President's aides who accompanied him to the U.K, spoke on the condition of the 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.
