According to Daily Nigerian, the crash occurred on Tuesday night when Yusuf was racing with a friend in the capital city.
“Yusuf was trying to overtake his friend when he suddenly veered off the road and skidded. He lay there unconscious for a while before the first lady was alerted,” a family source who preferred anonymity told Daily Nigerian
“She ordered that he be immediately rushed to Cedarcrest Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment. We are more concerned about the head injury than the fractures. As I speak to you, Yusuf is unconscious.
“An air ambulance may take him out of the country any moment.”
Spokesman for the president, Femi Adesina, could not be reached for comment at the time of filing in this report.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, revealed this in a statement signed by him on Wednesday in the nation’s capital.
