President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura was flown abroad for an urgent medical treatment, according to reports.
“Daura, 79, was said to have been flown in a private jet to the UK on Wednesday after exhibiting respiratory difficulties with symptoms similar to coronavirus since last Friday,” the report read.
Daura made the trip at a time the ban imposed on international flights as one of the ways of curtailing further spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria has not been lifted.
He is believed to be one of the most powerful allies of the president.
