The Presidency has dismissed as `fake news’ an online stor that the President’s son, Yusuf Buhari was flown out of the country early Thursday morning following his severe head injury in a bike accident.
.
.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that an online media outfit, TheCable, on Thursday reported that Buhari had been flown to Germany over head injury he sustained following a bike accident on Tuesday night.
.
.
“As previously reported by TheCable, he is being flown to Germany for specialist care.
.
.
“The family is said to have decided on Germany.
“He was driven to the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, in an ambulance with oxygen support.
.
.
“An orthopedic consultant with specialisation in head injuries was also on the flight to monitor his progress,’’ TheCable reported.
.
.
However, Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in a text message on Thursday in Abuja, said Buhari was still being treated at a private hospital in Abuja.
.
.
It would be recalled that Shehu had on Wednesday in a statement confirmed that the son of the President, Yusuf Buhari, who was involved in a bike accident, was in stable condition.
.
.
He said that Yusuf had the accident on Tuesday night around Gwarimpa area in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
.
.
Shehu said Buhari junior broke a limb and also sustained an injury on the head as a result of the incident.
.
.
“He has undergone surgery at a clinic in Abuja. He is in a stable condition.
.
.
“The President and his wife, Mrs Aisha Muhammadu Buhari are thankful to Nigerians for the good wishes and prayers for their son,” the presidential spokesman said.
