popular Nigerian online in the past two weeks.
And over the weekend, rumours started flying
around, first from MetroUK website that
'President Buhari has died in London', though
the presidency was quick to deny the claims.
Despite this, millions of concerned Nigerians
and people across world have gone online to
search answers for 'Is Buhari dead?', a phrase
that has become the most searched item on
Nigerian platforms this week.
On Saturday, January 21st, over 100,000 people
searched 'Is Buhari dead' on Google and at
least 5,000 people still search the subject daily.
Buhari departed Nigeria on Thursday, January
19th for a two-week vacation in London where
he would undergo medical check-ups.
As a result, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is
acting as president till Buhari resumes office on
February 6th.
While the presidency has denied reports on
Buhari's death, Nigerians won't back out until
they see their president back in the country.
