Former military president Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) recently travelled to Germany for a medical examination.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna reported this based on statements made by Alhaji Mahmud Abdullahi, a close family confidant and media assistant.
“I did not discuss with Oga before he left Nigeria where he had travelled to and why,” Abdullahi told NAN.
“I know he is due for a medical checkup because recently he has not gone for it.
“Therefore I believe that he travelled to Germany on Saturday for the medical checkup.”
He said he was unable to elaborate since he did not brief his superiors on the trip before leaving the country.
The media assistant reassured the public that the former leader was for a routine medical checkup and that there was no need to worry.
