We regret to announce the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died today, Saturday, July 13, 2025, in London at the age of 82.

According to official reports, Buhari passed away at approximately 4:30 p.m. GMT after battling a long-term illness. He had been receiving medical care at a clinic in the United Kingdom.

Buhari, who served as Nigeria's military ruler from 1983 to 1985 and later as a two-term civilian president from 2015 to 2023, leaves behind a significant chapter in Nigeria’s political history.

The Presidency has confirmed the news and declared national mourning, with flags to fly at half-mast and preparations for a state burial already underway.

More updates will follow as new details emerge.

May his soul rest in peace.
