President BUHARI Set for US Trip on Monday.

President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Abuja on Monday, September 4, 2017 for a trip to Washington, DC. Mr. Buhari's trip to the US is at the invitation of President Donald Trump, with a Nigerian Presidency source telling our correspondent that Mr. Trump extended the invitation last February, shortly after his inauguration. 

According to an itinerary seen by SaharaReporters, Mr. Buhari is scheduled to leave his hometown, Daura, by helicopter at 9:15 am on Monday for Katsina airport. From the airport, he will fly out at 10 am aboard a presidential jet to Washington, DC.

A source at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that the earlier plan was for Mr. Buhari to combine the official visit to the US with his participation at the UN General Assembly in New York from September 21 to 25, 2017.

Another Presidency insider said there was some anxiety within Aso Rock that the trip may turn out to have a medical tone.

A Nigerian teenager is among 3 foreigners to be extradited for gang raping a polish tourist on a beach in Italy. The 16-year-old Nigerian, 20-year-old Congolese asylum-seeker and two Moroccan brothers, aged 15 and 17, are accused of beating the Polish woman’s companion to an unconscious state, robbing and also raping a Peruvian woman. According to the Sun News, Poland’s Deputy Justice Minister, Patryk Jaki, said the country will seek the extradition from Italy of the four suspects in the gang rape of a Polish tourist on a beach in the Italian resort of Rimini. The minister on Monday said the four should face a very severe punishment to discourage others from committing such crimes. Although the Polish authorities opened investigations into the attacks, it is not immediately clear if the country would agree to extradition.
