A
source familiar with the situation of Yusuf Buhari, the only son of
President Muhammadu Buhari, has provided insight into the President
son’s condition.
A source who preferred not to be named,
told Daily Nigerian that when Yusuf was brought to Cedarcrest Hospital,
he had suffered severe head injury, and was immediately put on
“mechanical support”, to prevent him from dying.
The source said the President’s son
suffered a severe head injury and femoral fracture, after the ghastly
bike crash around Gwarimpa area of the capital city, Abuja.
According to the source, Yusuf’s level of consciousness was 5 in the scale of 15.
He said research shows that if the best
scale is 3 to 4 after twenty-four hours, 87 percent of those individuals
will either die or remain in a vegetative state, and only 7 percent
will have a moderate disability or good recovery.
“In patients with a scale from 5 to 7,
53 percent will die or remain in a vegetative state, while 34 percent
will have a moderate disability or good recovery.
“In patients with a scale of 8 to 10, 27
percent will die or remain in a coma, while 68 percent will have a
moderate disability and/or good recovery. In patients who have a scale
from 11 to 15, only 7 percent will be expected to die or remain in a
coma, while 87 percent would expect to have at least a moderate
disability and/or good recovery”, the source added.
Other inside sources hinted that since
there is no air ambulance in Nigeria, a Presidential jet will be kitted
with medical personnel and equipment to transport Yusuf to the United
Kingdom or Germany for further treatment.
