Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari, has died at the age of 82 in a London clinic following a long illness.
A former military ruler turned elected leader, Buhari returned to power on a wave of public hope, promising to restore order and crack down on terror groups like Boko Haram. But many Nigerians say that promise fell short. His presidency was marred by economic struggles linked to falling oil prices, and lingering criticism over human rights abuses—both past and present.
