President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday night had cut short his trip and returned to Abuja the Nation's capital. This is as a result of the worsening cases of banditry attack on residents in the North West region of the Federation, especially in Zamfara and Kaduna state.
Reports had it that the president was scheduled to initially return to Abuja from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday at about 1.30a.m. However, the presidential aircraft carrying the president, his aides and some members of his entourage landed at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja about 10.45pm.
Findings gathered that the president’s decision to cut short his official engagements in Dubai may not be unconnected with security developments in Zamfara, Kaduna and some other parts of the country.
Recall that President Buhari had on April 4 departed Abuja for Amman to honor an invitation by King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan, where he participated in the World Economic Forum (WEF).
