Yusuf Buhari, the son of President Muhammadu Buhari’s has returned to the country on Monday, February 26, 2018, after undergoing treatment overseas.
This Day reports that Yusuf is in a better shape now and is expected to resume his normal life.
When contacted about the president’s son’s return, Femi Adesina, Buhari’s Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity, declined to comment on the issue.
“The boy has a right to his private life. We can’t be talking about him and his movement,” he said.
Just last week, Lauretta Onochie, Buhari’s Special Assistant on Social Media, reacted to reports claiming that Yusuf was dead.
On her Twitter page, she wrote: “The news making the rounds regarding Yusuf Buhari, son of Pres. Buhari & Aisha Buhari, is Fake.

“He is very alive, to their shame.”
Recall that Yusuf suffered a brain injury after he was involved in a bike accident on Tuesday, December 26, 2017.
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.
But sources in the presidency disclosed Monday that shortly after he was discharged from Cedarcrest, he departed the country quietly due to the sensitivity surrounding his treatment abroad.
