Gen. Babangida made this disclosure on Sunday night, 21 September, 2014, while speaking with Thisday, adding that there was nothing strange about his trip.

The former Nigerian Army leader also informed that he would be back in Nigeria on Wednesday, 24 September, 2014.

This is contrary to reports published at the weekend that Babangida was hospitalised in a hospital in Germany after he was rushed there 10 days ago from his country home in Minna, the Niger State capital.

It was reported that the one time military president was moved from his hilltop mansion in Minna out of the country in a desperate need of adequate health care.
