The Digest:
A Nigerian doctor based in Canada, Arinze Onwumelu, has advised singer Portable to undergo a brain examination after his celebrity boxing bout with skit maker Carter Efe over the weekend in Lagos. Onwumelu, also known as Dr Zo, recommended a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan to check for any internal injuries, expressing concern that Portable could face a subdural haematoma. He noted that Efe landed several punches on delicate parts of Portable's head, adding, "The kind of punches he delivered means Portable may never recover from them." He advised organisers to make protective headgear compulsory.
