Abuja; Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari played down fears over his health yesterday as he jetted to London for checks on a medical condition that has forced him to pull out of recent engagements.

“I’ve already told Nigerians that I’m going for 10 days to get my ear checked,” Buhari, accompanied by his personal physician, told reporters shortly before his plane took off from Abuja.
