Musa Yar'Adua

There are strong indications that Nigeria's President, Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's life may be hanging on very thin thread of survival following complications from his recent surgery in a Saudi Hospital. Pointblanknews.com has just received reports that President Yar'Adua has now been placed on a life support equipment.

According to sources, Yar'Adua who was admitted at Soliman Akkeh Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was operated for an undisclosed ailment but he was known to have a medical history of kidney problem and Churg Strauss Syndrome, an inflammation of the blood vessel.

There is growing apprehension about the President's condition amongst top officials at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa concerning serious deterioration in President Yar'Adua's medical condition. He was originally billed to return to Nigeria during this weekend but a Saudi source said that "that possibility looks very unlikely even in the next two weeks. President is barely conscious and would need all the prayers to be able to make it through this time," a source at the Soliman Akkeh Hospital told Pointblanknews.com
