Mr Buhari returned to the country on Saturday evening and was received by the Acting President, Mr Yemi Osinbajo and other top government officials.

This morning, he addressed the nation in a nationwide broadcast, warning trouble makers to desist or be ready for the consequences.

Later in the morning, the President wrote a letter to the National Assembly, notifying the parliament of his readiness to resume office.
