Vice President Yemi Osinbajo SAN, has patronised a Nigerian hospital in Lagos, where he underwent a surgery over pain in his leg.
The procedure was performed at Duchess International Hospital GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.
Disclosing this on Saturday, the Vice President’s spokesperson, Laolu Akande said the surgery was “on account of a recurrent leg pain in the leg possibly sustained from an injury while playing squash.”
Meanwhile, a few hours after Akande’s announcement, further disclosure from the hospital where the Vice President had consulted for the surgery showed it was successful.
In a statement from the hospital as released by Akande later on Saturday night, it said: “Doctors who performed the surgical operation on Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, to treat the recurrent pain caused by a fracture in his leg have concluded the procedure and it was successful.”
It also added that “the VP is alert and well.”
