Nigeria: Lawsuit asks for condition of president
ABUJA, Nigeria
The lawsuit by the Socio-economic Rights and Accountability
Project asks a judge to force the doctor to publish a report on
President Umaru Yar'Adua in major national newspapers. It also asks
for the names of those treating Yar'Adua, who hasn't been seen
since leaving the country in November for a Saudi Arabian hospital.
Yar'Adua returned Feb. 24 to Nigeria, but still hasn't been seen
or heard from.
Yar'Adua's doctor previously said the leader suffered from an
inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart. The National
Assembly later empowered Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to take
over in Yar'Adua's absence.
