Yusuf had first undergone a successful emergency surgery at the Cedarcrest Hospitals, Abuja, which was carried out by a team of neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons.
As his health improved, the president's son was transferred from the intensive care unit of the hospital to the ward, following which he was certified stable and discharged.
However, This Day reports that sources in the presidency disclosed that shortly after he was discharged from Cedarcrest, he departed the country quietly due to the sensitivity surrounding his treatment abroad.
But when the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, was asked to comment on the issue. He said: “The boy has a right to his private life. We can’t be talking about him and his movement."
