Irogbo who speak to newsmen on his conditions
He said, “I was shot at Lekki Toll Gate. I’m so sorry I could not grant an interview earlier because of security reasons. The iron they used to hold the leg has been removed; unfortunately, the iron was not meant for the bones to join, it was just for the leg to be straight so that the injuries sustained from the bullet would heal; now they are healed, and the iron has been removed.
“If you look at the leg very well, you will see the foot is falling to one side. I can’t lift the leg; I can’t sleep. I went to a bone specialist; he charged me N120,000. I don’t even know where to start. I am stranded already; I don’t know where to start.
“Please I need help, I can’t sleep, I can’t lift the leg. If I do, if falls in different directions. I can’t stay like this; they remove the iron, they didn’t put POP. I need help; to feed my family is a problem, not to talk of paying for the bone.”
The report signed by Dr Ogundipe, of the Grandville Trauma Centre, partly reads, “An above-named patient is a 38-year-old man being managed for distal tibia and fibula fractures due to gunshot injury to the right leg sustained at the #EndSARS protest incident at the Lekki tollgate.
