President Muhammadu Buhari is suffering from a combination of
prostate cancer, sickle cell anaemia, Crohn’s disease and dementia, a
confidential study on his health made available to SaharaReporters has
revealed.
The report also revealed that the prostate cancer afflicting the President “may have become incurable”.
To reach its conclusions, the report examined a string of issues,
including the timeline of the President’s international travels
alongside medical assessment, the travel patterns, information from
sources in independent private hospitals and a list of doctors
considered the best in the UK for the treatment of prostate cancer.
A detailed review of data as part of the study revealed that Buhari
sought medical treatment abroad (mainly in the UK) multiple times. He
had visited both Nigerian and European hospitals, and spent almost half
of 2017 being treated in London. It found out that the President may
suffer from more than one condition, all of them severe.
A part of the study read: “Buhari is being constantly treated
for prostate cancer in UK. The first diagnosis of prostate cancer dates
back to 2014 at the latest. The underlying cause of this cancer may be
Crohn’s disease (relationship between these diseases is explained in the
report). Moreover, he likely suffers from sickle cell disease, which
also could increase the risk of prostate cancer and complicate cancer
treatment.
“He was recently mocked for incoherency and confusion in his
public appearances. Dementia may be due to age and fatigue from medical
treatment, but is also associated with a common treatment (ADT) for
prostate cancer. Therefore, dementia may be either an independent
condition, or a result of lengthy cancer treatments.
“Data analysis suggests a certainty of the prostate cancer
diagnosis, a high probability of Crohn’s disease, and a likelihood of
both dementia and sickle cell anemia. Each condition in itself can be
seen as debilitating; together, and given the nature of cancer
treatments, they are preventing Buhari from fulfilling his presidential
functions.”
The study reached the following conclusions: “The President
suffers from multiple severe medical conditions, that are likely to
significantly impair his ability to serve for another term. His
treatment pattern (detailed in the report) suggests that his cancer may
have become incurable.
“In 2017 he was intensively treated and spent most of the year
in the UK. In 2018, he only took short trips for medical reasons,
implying he was no longer undergoing significant cancer treatments. This
is compatible with statements from individuals associated with the
hospital where he underwent treatment. They state he underwent a
surgery, following which he must undergo follow-ups at least once in
three months for five years."
Whether due to cancer or to dementia, Buhari did not resume work
travels and rarely leaves the country, which raises many concerns, given
his previous extensive travel pattern.
