Vice-President Kashim Shettima has arrived in London on a solemn mission, following the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The vice-president is in London on the directive of President Bola Tinubu to accompany Buhari’s body back home.
Shettima was received at the London airport by Yusuf Tuggar, the minister of foreign affairs and Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno state.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the chief of staff (CoS) to the president, also accompanied the vice-president on the trip.
Buhari, who passed away on Sunday, served as Nigerian president between 2015 to 2023.
Arrangements are already in place for the body to be flown to Daura, in Katsina state, where the late president will be laid to rest in accordance with Islamic rites and family wishes.
