I saw it on aljazeera tv.
In fact its still on as breaking news although its still unconfirmed.
If its true, we hope he's just coming back to rest.
He CANT take over as president

here

i hope it's not true jare. . .we dont need a corpse as president

@xterra2
Saw it as a newsflash on aljazeera television. . .
apparently they say he's still on his way home or in fact may have landed in abuja, but then its still a developing story.
Surely he wont take forever in mid air, we'll know for sure on wednesday

Its true the man is already airborne Aljazera just reported it now as I write

Its unacceptable,
A doctored dead and dying yaradua is coming back. . .For bloody what?! And why now?

Someone should please wake goodluck up and tell him to effect a mass sack immediately!

they are bringing him home to announce his death formally

Saudi govt. didnt want a diplomatic row so they 1st decides to delay FEC 6member trip by denying them landing clearance and now play the joker by descharging yaradua before our ministers arrived in saudi. I just hope its not his dead body they are sending back to us! What are disgrace, if yaradua is found to be alive when his plane lands in abuja impeachment proceedings should immediately be instituted against him cos now we about to witness another round of crisis!

The Hausa's have come again with their gimmicks. Bastards!
Yar'adua refuses to be seen, now he's coming home. ok

No shaking
He will be impeached at the speed of light!

[size=16pt]Nigerian president returning from Saudi - sources[/size]

ABUJA, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua was being flown back to the capital Abuja on Tuesday, three months after he left for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, Nigerian government sources and a Saudi airport official said.

"The president left at 10:22 p.m. (1922 GMT) alone in a plane and another plane carried Nigerian government envoys," the official at Jeddah airport told Reuters.

There was no word on the state of his health.

Nigerian government and presidency officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

Soldiers and armed police arrived at the presidential wing of the airport in Abuja, a Reuters witness.

The 58-year-old leader left Nigeria in late November to receive medical treatment at a clinic in Jeddah for pericarditis, an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart that can restrict normal beating.

His absence brought Africa's most populous nation to the brink of constitutional crisis and threatened to paralyse the business of government, until Vice President Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in as acting leader two weeks ago.

Neither the presidency, the ruling party nor the cabinet has given any details on his health since shortly after he left, fuelling speculation about his true condition.

A delegation of Nigerian ministers travelled to Saudi Arabia on Monday for an update on his health and had been expected to report back to a weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

Check sahara reporters. It's on their website. They carried the story well before al jazeera.
