The Vice President announced via a Twitter post on Saturday that he had been admitted and was billed to undergo surgery after experiencing pain in his leg, discovered to be from a fracture he sustained while playing squash.

His spokesperson, Mr Laolu Akande, later issued a statement saying the surgery was a success.

According to him, the Vice President is alert and well after the procedure at the Duchess International Hospital in Lagos.

“The Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON, was admitted to the Duchess International Hospital GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, today on account of a fracture of his right femur (thigh bone), possibly related to a longstanding injury associated with a game of squash,” stated Dr Adedoyin Dosunmu-Ogunbi who is the medical director of the hospital.
