President Muhammadu Buhari, who has been away in London for almost three months has become the subject of a sports betting game.


A popular sports gaming site, NaijaBet.com, is asking those interested to stake their money on when Buhari who left Nigeria on May 7 on his latest medical trip to London would return.

The company usually focusses on English Premiership, Champions League and other sporting events, but recently launched the ‘Buhari to Return’ game:

////YOU CAN BET ON IF HE WILL RETURN ON THE 2ND WEEK OF AUGUST OR THE 4TH///

The 74-year-old Buhari first sought treatment in London in June last year for what presidency officials said was a persistent inner ear infection, returning in six months for check-ups that were later said to be “a long period of treatment”.
