President Muhammadu Buhari is slated to leave for London, United Kingdom on Monday for a routine check-up.
His Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, confirmed this in a tweet from his official handle.
Buhari presided over an emergency National Security Council meeting in the early hours of Monday, so the announcement comes to many as surprising since there was no information if it was a planned travel or spontaneous.
