By Newsroom
KANO- Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died in a London clinic at the age of 82, his family has said.
The country’s immediate past president was reported to have travelled to the UK in April for a routine medical check-up but subsequently fell ill.
The cause of his death is yet to be disclosed but there were speculations about his ill health throughout his eight years in power.
Mr Buhari made history in 2015 as the first opposition candidate to defeat an incumbent and win the presidency with the promise to tackle corruption and insecurity.
The former soldier carried out a military coup in 1983 and ruled for twenty months before he was unseated through another coup.
