 According to Sahara Reporters, the former vice president had to be operated upon in order to save his leg from amputation.

Sambo is said to be recovering from the operation which was done to realign a severe knee ligament disorder.

“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,” said a Sahara Reporters source, who is a Nigerian diplomat. He added that Sambo’s surgery took place in mid-August and that the former vice president was in intensive rehab for several weeks after the surgery.

“He was not able to walk for some weeks due to the nature of the surgery,” the source further said. The source also revealed that the former governor of Kaduna state, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, recently paid the recuperating former vice president a visit in September. Sambo is, however, still in the Maryland area where he continues to recuperate and to undergo extensive physical therapy to enable him walk normally again.
