Dairy is currently in a the Abuja Teaching Hospital, with ‘The Nation” reporting that the challenge is kidney-related.
“I have gone to see him. He is having serious health challenges. From my finding and from the doctor, his aliment is kidney failure and it is critical,” the paper quotes a source as saying.
It adds that the Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS), FCT Command Public Relations Officer (PRO), Chukwuedo Humphrey, confirmed that Dariye is hospitalized, but he declined to state his ailment.
“I will not mention the name of the illness to you and the hospital where he is. Normally people whose health we can’t manage we refer outside for proper medical attention. We have been managing his illness since October/November,” he said.
