After undergoing a complex surgery to repair a severe knee ligament disorder that almost resulted in the amputation of one of his legs, immediate past Vice President, Namadi Sambo, is now recuperating in the United States.

 

A close source told SaharaReporters that ex VP, Sambo is currently in the Washington, DC area. "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 the source, adding that Sambo’s surgery took place in mid-August. 

 

He said 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 said.

 

Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, the immediate former governor of Kaduna State, visited the recovering former Vice President in September, according to the source. 

 

Sambo remains in the Maryland area where he continues to recuperate and to undergo extensive physical therapy to help restore his ability to walk normally again.
