President Muhammadu Buhari has departed Abuja for London, the United Kingdom, for a scheduled medical check, which is expected to last for about two weeks.

Buhari, who initially planned embarking on the trip to London from Nairobi, Kenya, where he attended the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) 50th anniversary event, returned home last Friday.

The President’s official plane, Nigeria Air Force 1, took off from the Presidential wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
