Buhari's son not flown abroad — Presidency

The Presidency has described as untrue reports that Yusuf Buhari, a son of President Muhammadu Buhari, was flown abroad this morning for medical attention.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said this in a text message sent to our correspondent few minutes ago.

"That is not true, pls," the presidential spokesman said.

Yusuf had a bike accident Tuesday night around Gwarimpa in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Yusuf broke a limb and had an injury to the head as a result.

Shehu had said in a statement Wednesday Yusuf had undergone surgery at a clinic in Abuja and was in a stable condition.
