Tanzanian President Dr. John Pombe Magufuli has been flown to India after developing heart and breathing difficulties while being treated at The Nairobi Hospital, in Kenya.

The development comes barely hours after the opposition leader Tundu Lissu quarried the where about of Magufuli.

Magufuli is said to have tested positive for COVID-19.

Mr Magufuli has faced criticism for his handling of Covid-19, with his government refusing to buy vaccines.
Earlier this month, at a funeral for a top presidential aide, Mr Magufuli said Tanzania had defeated Covid-19 last year and would win again this year.

The aide died hours after the vice-president of the country’s semi-autonomous islands of Zanzibar, who was being treated for Covid-19.
