Former Governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Murtala Nyako, is scheduled to return to Nigeria on Saturday (today), The Punch is reporting.
Nyako is expected to fly into Nigeria from London via Lufthansa Airlines.
He is expected to land in Abuja this evening, The Punch said.
One of his political aides, who spoke with The Punch on condition of anonymity, said Nyako decided to return following the installation of Muhammadu Buhari as the President.
Nyako left the country hurriedly following his impeachment from office by the state lawmakers.
His impeachment, which he is still contesting in court, came as a result of the disagreement he had with former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The former naval officer had accused the then President of having his hands in Boko Haram insurgency.
He also wrote a lengthy letter to the former President, accusing him of being anti-people.
Nyako was among the five governors that defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
The former governor was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over allegations of financial crimes.
