PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Abuja after attending the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

His plane touched down at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at about 7pm Monday.

A Sign of the Nigerian leader’s arrival was the presence of a mix of armed soldiers and policemen on the route from the airport to the Presidential Villa.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the President’s aircraft landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 7.p.m, where he was received by top government officials including his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris and the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.

Governors Rotimi Akeredolu, Dave Umahi and Abdulaziz Yari were also at the airport to receive the presidential handshake. They were among the fewer than 20 people on the President’s entourage to the UN.

The President, on Sept. 21, left New York at about 8.05a.m for JFK International Airport for his onward journey back home via London, United Kingdom.

No official reason was given for Buhari’s London visit.
