Buhari’s Final Days at The London Clinic
Buhari, who had a history of health challenges, traveled to London in April 2025 for a routine check-up but later became critically ill and was admitted to the ICU. According to his nephew, Mamman Daura, the former president was in good spirits the night before his death and was preparing for discharge. However, by midday on Sunday, July 13, 2025, he developed breathing difficulties and passed away at 4:30 p.m.
His death was confirmed by his former spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, though the exact cause was not disclosed.
A Hospital for the Wealthy and Powerful
The London Clinic, founded in 1932, treats over 120,000 patients annually, including political leaders, foreign dignitaries, and royalty. Former Nigerian Head of State Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar was also reportedly treated there before being discharged.
Following Buhari’s passing, videos of family members visiting the hospital surfaced online. While the duration of his stay remains unclear, sources confirm he spent his final days in the ICU.
