Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari sick, flown abroad.

Abba Kyari was flown to the UK for medical
attention on Wednesdays after he began to
have breathing difficulties. A source at the
Presidential Villa told PREMIUM TIMES that Mr.
Kyari was rushed to London on a British
Airway flight on Wednesday morning.

The source said Mr. Kyari had been battling
with diabetes and was recently in the UK to
receive treatment. “The Chief was almost
unconscious when they took him to the UK,
but he is doing very well now,” the source
said.

Sahara Reporters, earlier published a report
saying Kyari’s condition worsened following
the kidnap of a former minister, Bagudu Hirse,
in front of the residence of Mamman Daura,
Pres. Buhari’s nephew.

Kyari and a former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, Babagana
Kingibe, were in Daura’s residence when the
kidnap happened. “The Chief was shocked
after all the security details ran away leaving
them to their fate.
.
.
He drove away all the security men except the
one who refused to run away and they drove
back to Abuja in a very tight security,” he
said. He also said Mr. Kyari was badly shaken
from the Kaduna experience.

“He has not been the same since he returned.
In fact, he gave the policeman that stood by
him a token of money as gratitude,” he said.
Hirse has since been released by his
abductors.
