Yusuf Buhari, had a bike crash Tuesday night around Gwarimpa in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and broke his head and one of his limbs.
Before the scary incident, he was reportedly trying to overtake his friend when he suddenly skidded off the road and, in the process, hit his head and limb on the hard surface. He lay there unconscious for a while before being rushed to the hospital.
A family source said the First Lady was immediately alerted and had to rush back from Adamawa State.
But a top government source disclosed that on getting to Cedacrest Hospital, Abuja, she was prevented from seeing her son because of the severity of the accident.
That led her to conclude that he had died, and collapsed and had to be revived and placed on bed rest.
The Director of Information to the wife of the President, Suleiman Haruna, however denied that his principal, collapsed or was on bed rest in the hospital.
The media aide said Mrs. Buhari was by her son’s bedside like any concerned mother will do and there was nothing wrong with that.
Security remains tight inside and around Cedacrest Hospital where the First Lady and her injured son, Yusuf, are on admission.
A visit by Saturday Sun to the hospital showed that personnel from different security agencies have been strategically stationed to protect the V.I.P. patients.
However, despite the presence of four vehicles filled by policemen, two men of the Department of State Services and one Toyoya Hilux containing personnel of the Nigeria Civil Security and Civil Defence Corps, friends and family members of the Buharis have continued to throng the hospital.
In the meantime, the management of the hospital has continued to maintain sealed lips on the progress of the First Lady and her son.
No statement has been issued on their state of health.
This is even as calls made to the line of the Chief Medical Director of Cedacrest, Dr. Felix Ogedegbe, by Saturday Sun rang for sometime before going into voice mail.
