Former President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Nigeria after testifying in a high-stakes arbitration case at the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Court of Arbitration in Paris, France.

A video shared by Bashir Ahmad, former Special Assistant on Digital Communications, captured Buhari stepping off an aircraft upon his arrival.

The arbitration case involves a $2.3 billion dispute between Nigeria and Sunrise Power, which initiated proceedings in 2017 over a breached contract for the construction of a 3,050MW power plant in Mambilla, Taraba State. The $6 billion project was originally designed to be executed on a build, operate, and transfer basis.

Buhari’s testimony forms part of Nigeria’s defense, with the presidency emphasizing that witnesses, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, have testified voluntarily.

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