President Goodluck Jonathan has arrived back in Nigeria after a four day private visit to Germany.

The President arrived at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Abuja around 4 pm on Monday, in a state-owned jet, though the visit was declared private.

He was received by top government officials, presidential aides  and Suleiman Abba, the Inspector General of Police.  

Though the President did not discuss the purpose of his visit to Germany, there were speculations that he went to the European country for medical attention. 

Reuben Abati, his spokesperson, however, denied the speculation, insisting that the President was not ill.
