Although multiple posters claim Zahra Buhari was the individual crying in the clip, Legit.ng cannot independently verify if she was the one. We also cannot immediately confirm if the video is related to Buhari's death.

In the trending footage seen by Legit.ng, a woman could be seen sobbing in front of The London Clinic while being consoled and escorted back into the facility by a man and a woman.

The one-minute video then switches, showing a female individual who appears to be Aisha, the immediate past first lady, entering a waiting vehicle.
