Former President Muhammadu Buhari is back in Nigeria following his testimony in a $2.3 billion arbitration case involving Sunrise Power.
The case, heard at the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Court of Arbitration in Paris, France, centers on a dispute over the 2003 Mambilla power plant contract.
A video shared on social media confirmed Buhari’s return, showing him stepping off an aircraft.

The presidency clarified that Buhari voluntarily testified to defend Nigeria in the ongoing case, dismissing claims of coercion.
The dispute began in 2017 when Sunrise Power sought damages over alleged breaches of the 2003 agreement to construct the 3,050MW power plant in Taraba State.
The project, valued at $6 billion, faced setbacks, with the company also claiming the government failed to uphold a 2020 settlement agreement.
