The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a text message to our correspondent this afternoon, explained that Buhari’s technical crew decided to break the long US trip to refuel and do routine checks in London.

According to Shehu, the president and his team are flying back to Abuja “now”.

“It is a smaller plane. The BBJ is away on repairs. The technical crew decided to break the long distance journey, to refuel and do routine checks. This is normal. They are flying back to Abuja now,” he said.
