Buhari’s death: Shettima, Gbajabiamila depart Abuja for London.

Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed Abuja for London on President Bola Tinubu's directive to accompany the body of former President Muhammadu Buhari back to Nigeria.

Buhari, who died on Sunday in London at approximately 4:30 pm at the age of 82, served as Nigeria's democratically-elected President from 2015 to 2023 and previously as Military Head of State from January 1984 to August 1985. 

President Tinubu has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect for the departed leader and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, is accompanying Vice President Shettima to the UK to escort Buhari's body back to Nigeria.
