President Muhammadu Buhari’s only son, Mr. Yusuf Buhari, who was involved in a ghastly motorbike accident last December, returned to the country Tuesday after undergoing further treatment overseas.
Although it could not be ascertained where Yusuf had gone for treatment, sources disclosed that Yusuf, who arrived the country Tuesday night, was in a better shape and is expected to resume a normal life.
He was received at the airport by the Minister of State For Health and other governmental officials.
A healthy-looking Yusuf arrived at the Aso Rock Villa where he was welcomed by his father, President Muhammadu Buhari.
At the time of his accident, a statement by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media and Publicity, had said Yusuf was allegedly drag racing with his friend, when the accident happened on December 26.
According to the statement, “Yusuf broke a limb and sustained an injury to the head as a result. He has undergone surgery at a clinic in Abuja. He is in a stable condition.”
He had first undergone successful emergency surgery at the Cedarcrest Hospitals, Abuja, carried out by a team of neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons. As Yusuf’s health improved, he was transferred from the intensive care unit of the hospital to the ward, following which he was certified stable and discharged.
