President Buhari's nephew, Mamman Daura's departure from Nigeria to the United Kingdom in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic has attracted mixed reactions from Nigerian citizenry. 

His departure is a hot topic as March 2020's restrictions are still in place on international flights with allowance made for only flights on essential duties.

The reasons's behind this departure remain unknown though it has been speculated that he left for health reasons. A source close to the family claimed claimed that Daura's departure was unrelated to COVID-19.

“It is impossible that a man, who is over 80, would have breathing problems on Friday and the family would wait for five days before flying him abroad in an emergency. A man having breathing problems on Friday would not attend a public funeral on Tuesday,” the family source told NAN.

A few Nigerian politicians have died from COVID-19, including President Buhari’s chief of staff, Abba Kyari, who died in April 2020.

Former Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Lagos senator Bayo Osinowo and other politicians in the country had died from the virus.

What are your thoughts on Nigerian politicians' seeking medical care abroad?
