President Muhammadu Buhari has visited a
senior Nigerian military officer currently receiving treatment in a
Berlin hospital in Germany.
A statement issued by the Senior Special
Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said the
president decided to visit the officer before returning to Nigeria
after he had concluded his state visit to Germany.
The statement gave the name of the
hospitalised officer as Brigadier-General Mohammed Sani Aliyu, the
Acting Commander of the 3rd Division of the Nigerian Army, Jos, Plateau
State. He was said to have miraculously survived a ghastly road accident
in the course of a duty tour in the North-east.
The head of Training and Operations of
the Nigerian Army, Major-General Yusha’u Abubakar, who was in the same
vehicle, was not so lucky as he died in the auto crash on
Maiduguri-Damaturu road. The statement said: “Buhari, accompanied by the
Governors of Borno and Imo, the National Security Adviser, NSA, the
Minister of Interior and that of Foreign Affairs congratulated General
Aliyu for the progress he has made in his treatment in the last six
months in the hospital.”
The president and his delegation wished him a quick recovery and an early return to his family and duties in Nigeria.
The president was said to have given a
further assurance that his administration would continue to accord
priority to the health and well-being of service personnel in the
country.
The statement said: “Doctors said
General Aliyu could barely move his head only when he was stretchered
in, with the rest of the body torn and broken in many parts. Now, he can
move around with very little assistance.”
