France.

A video shared by Bashir Ahmad, Buhari’s former Special Assistant on Digital Communications, captured the former president arriving back in Nigeria, disembarking from an aircraft.

The arbitration case centers on a $2.3 billion dispute between Nigeria and Sunrise Power, which filed the case in 2017. The dispute arises from an alleged breach of contract regarding the construction of the 3,050MW Mambilla power plant in Taraba State. The $6 billion project was originally intended to be developed on a build, operate, and transfer basis.

Buhari’s testimony plays a crucial role in Nigeria’s defense. According to the presidency, other key witnesses, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, have also provided voluntary testimony in the case.

The conflict stems from a 2003 contract and a subsequent settlement agreement in 2020, which Sunrise Power claims the Nigerian government failed to honor. Both Buhari and Obasanjo have denied authorizing any agreements or settlements related to the project.
