SaharaReporters has learned that doctors in the UK who examined
President Muhammadu Buhari’s ear infection have cleared him to travel back to
Nigeria next week. A presidential source told our correspondent that Mr. Buhari
was likely to leave London for Abuja next Thursday.
The source disclosed that the Nigerian president spent a day
at a hospital in London where he underwent a series of tests to diagnose the
nature of his ear ailment and a course of treatment. He declined to name the
hospital where Mr. Buhari was seen.
According to the source, the
doctors in the UK determined that President Buhari’s ear got infected after one
of his doctors in Abuja “cleaned” his ear when he complained about a
substantial loss of hearing from that particular ear. The presidential source
stated that a female Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor treated the president.
He said Mr. Buhari’s ear was cleaned again, and antibiotics applied to it.
After just two days in the UK, Mr. Buhari reportedly proclaimed that his ear
was feeling fine, according to our source.
SaharaReporters learned that
President Buhari has returned to the Nigerian diplomatic residence in London
known as “Abuja House” where he intends to spend the rest of his time in the
UK.
Another source in London
disclosed that doctors in the UK had also prescribed a chest x-ray for Mr.
Buhari to determine the cause of his persistent cough. The source said he was
not aware what the result of the x-ray was.
A source familiar with the
goings-on in the UK told SaharaReporters that Mr. Buhari was expected to travel
back to Abuja by next Thursday “if every goes well.”
