Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has returned home after three months of medical leave in the UK.<\/p>\n
Officials refused to disclose what he was being treated for.<\/p>\n
It was the president’s second spell of medical leave this year – leading many Nigerians to question whether he was well enough to run the country.<\/p>\n
President Buhari, 74, walked unaided from the plane after landing in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.<\/p>\n
He was greeted by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who has acted as interim leader, and was accorded a military salute.<\/p>\n
He made no statement and immediately travelled to the presidential villa.<\/p>\n
President Buhari, who took office in May 2015, handed over power to Vice President Osinbajo to allay concerns of a void at the helm of Africa’s biggest economy.<\/p>\n
His absence sparked numerous protests, including demands that he should resign, as well as calls for more transparency about the president’s condition.<\/p>\n
There has been speculation about his health since June 2016, when he first went to London for treatment of what his aides said was a persistent ear infection.<\/p>\n
His spokesman said he will address Nigerians on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
