Former Vice President, Namadi Sambo, has reportedly undergone a knee surgery in the United States.
According to Sahara Reporters, Sambo went under the knife to repair a severe knee ligament disorder that almost resulted in the amputation of one of his legs.
Sambo is said to have been undergoing rehabilitation and physical therapy for the past few weeks after the surgery took place in the middle of August.
A Nigerian diplomat was quoted to have said:
“The former Vice President, Architect Namadi Sambo, visited or consulted several hospitals in the US before he was admitted by a DC-area hospital for an extensive ligament reconstructive surgery. He was not able to walk for some weeks due to the nature of the surgery.”
The former Vice President is believed to be in Maryland, US, where he is recuperating.
