Buhari’s Death: Shettima, Gbajabiamila Depart Abuja For London

News Investigators/ Vice-President Kashim Shettima has departed Abuja for London on President Bola Tinubu’s directive following the announcement of the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s death.

Mr Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to The President on Media and Communications, Office of The Vice President, made this known in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Tinubu announced the passing of his predecessor, former president Buhari, who died on Sunday in London at approximately 4:30 pm.
