A couple of blogs including at least one local newspaper this morning reported that the First Lady was transported to a German hospital a couple of days ago from Abuja following suspected food poisoning.
Meanwhile, the First Lady's spokesman Ayo Osinlu confirmed that Mrs. Jonathan has travelled abroad since last week but that she was only away to take a "moment's rest" given that she has not taken a rest since President Jonathan's election last year.
Osinlu told Daily Trust via a telephone chat that after the African First Ladies Summit which she hosted late July, Mrs. Jonathan decided she should take some time off to rest.
"If you look at her itinerary in August, you will be wondering how she was able to accomplish that," Osinlu said.
Asked when the First Lady is expected to return to Nigeria, Osinlu said, "In the course of this week she will be back home. But remember, it all depends on her plans."
He added that she may decide to extend her stay abroad.
