Following their trip to the United Kingdom, President Buhari and others have been placed in isolation

President Muhammadu Buhari and members of his delegation have been placed in isolation after returning from a two-week trip to London, United Kingdom.

This measure could be linked to media reports that President Buhari and some members of his delegation were seen in close contact with officials from the Nigerian High Commission in London who tested positive for coronavirus upon arrival at the airport.

According to ChannelsTV, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, made the announcement on Sunday, August 15, 2021.
