Bashir Gwandu is Yusuf’s best friend with whom he collided in a horror crash on Tuesday night. It was gathered that the accident occurred when Yusuf revved up the engine of his motorbike to overtake Bashir Gwandu, and suddenly lost control of the machine.

“The accident happened when Yusuf was trying to overtake Bashir. They collided and somersaulted. They lay unconscious there for a while before permission was sought to take them to the hospital,” said a source.

 

A security vehicle was trailing and giving cover to the president’s son when the accident occurred.

 

Rumor were rife on Thursday morning that Yusuf was flown to Germany for treatment but spokesman for the president, Garba Shehu, dismissed it.
