Contrary to the statement credited to Femi Adesina, a senior spokesperson to President Muhammadu Buhari that his son, Yusuf, was ready for “discharge” from an Abuja hospital, reports from Saharareporters suggests that he was ferried out of Nigeria through the Presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport early this morning.
Yusuf is headed for treatment at St. Josef Hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany according to Presidency sources.
The departure of Yusuf to Germany followed earlier departure last night by his sister, Mrs. Halima Buhari-Sherif and the official physician to the first lady, Kamal Mohammed. Both arrived Stuttgart earlier today on a Bombardier Challenger 600
Presidential jet with registration number 5N-FGZ.
Yusuf was injured in a power bike accident in Gwanripa neighbourhood in Abuja while drag racing with a friend, Bashir Gwandu. Mr. Adesina claims Gwandu was not injured in the crash as earlier reported in newspapers and social media outlets.
