Doctors at the German hospital where Patience Jonathan is undergoing treatment performed a surgical procedure on her to remove uterine fibroids, a presidency source revealed.
The source added that the fibroids might be cancerous, even though he could not confirm it as German doctors are reportedly conducting further tissue testing.
Another source disclosed that Mr President, Goodluck Jonathan, was planning a quick and secret trip to Germany to see his ailing wife. Mrs. Jonathan remains hospitalized in Germany almost eleven days after she was airlifted there from Abuja.
Olufamous.com reported last week that Mrs. Jonathan had been flown to a German hospital for medical treatment over "food poisoning", a condition for which she was reportedly misdiagnosed by doctors at the Presidential clinic in Aso Rock.
Sources close to the First Lady had claimed that her closest friend, Bola Shagaya, had convinced her to undergo some form of cosmetic surgery to enhance her looks.
President Jonathan is taking off for official visits to Malawi and Botswana, but sources said the president plan to fly secretly into Germany from South Africa to visit his wife before returning to Abuja.
