Mamman Daura, nephew of the late President Muhammadu Buhari and a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political landscape, is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital in London, United Kingdom.
Daura, now in his 80s, is known not only for his familial ties to Buhari but also for his significant influence during the former president’s administration.
He was often described as the most powerful unelected figure in the Buhari presidency, with many referring to him as a key member of the so-called “Buhari cabal”—a group believed to have exerted considerable behind-the-scenes influence over policy and appointments.
His role drew public attention and scrutiny, with former First Lady Aisha Buhari among those who previously voiced concerns about the extent of the group’s power.
Details about the nature of his illness remain undisclosed, but sources close to the family confirmed that he has been under medical observation in the UK for several days.
