🇳🇬 BREAKING: Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari Dies in UK Hospital at 82
Former President Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled Nigeria both as a military head of state (1983–1985) and later as a democratically elected president (2015–2023), has died at the age of 82. The sad news was officially confirmed by his family through presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
Buhari passed away in a London hospital where he had been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness. Reports of his declining health had surfaced in recent days, prompting widespread concern.
His death marks the end of an era in Nigerian political history, one shaped by his iron-fisted military legacy, anti-corruption campaign, and controversial democratic rule. State funeral plans and national tributes are expected in the coming days.
