A report circulating online has claimed that Justice Tsamma Abubakar, who was linked to legal proceedings following Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election, lost his eyesight after undergoing eye surgery in London.
According to Igbo Times Magazine, the judge travelled to London for what was described as a routine eye procedure. The publication claimed unexpected complications developed during the surgery, leaving him blind.
The report about Justice Tsamma Abubakar has since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians sharing different opinions. However, neither the judge’s family, the hospital nor judicial authorities have issued an official statement confirming the claim.
As of the time of filing this report, no major Nigerian news organisation has independently verified the story. Readers are therefore advised to treat the claim with caution until credible confirmation becomes available.
The report continues to attract attention online as many await an official update on Justice Tsamma Abubakar and his reported medical condition.
