Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died at the age of 81.
His death was announced on Saturday by his former aide, Bashir Ahmad, in a post on X (formerly Twitter). According to the statement, the former president passed away in a clinic in London earlier in the afternoon.
“The family of the former president has announced the passing on of Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus. Amin,” Ahmad wrote.
Buhari served as Nigeria’s civilian president from 2015 to 2023, following a previous tenure as military head of state between 1983 and 1985. He was widely known for his anti-corruption stance and policies aimed at economic stabilization.
Further details regarding his burial are expected to be released by the family in accordance with Islamic rites.
