Confirming the report on Monday, the Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on his Twitter account said the President would be back in Nigeria in the second week of November.
Adesina said, “President Buhari leaves for London October 31, 2022, for routine medical checkup. He returns to the country 2nd week of November, 2022.”

This is not the first time the President will travel to London for medical check-up in 2022. Buhari was in the United Kingdom in March and in July for medical purpose.
This is despite the rising tension and fear in the country, especially in Abuja over the terror alert by the US, UK and Canadian commissions.
