Chief Medical Director (CMD) of
Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), in Anambra, Prof. Anthony
Igwegbe, has disclosed that of the 26 victims of St Philips Catholic Church
Ozubulu attack by gunmen who were admitted in the medical facility, eight
victims are still receiving treatment in the hospital.
He said: “About eight are still
in the hospital because they have bone injuries and it takes time to heal. Some
had gone for first surgery and some need a second surgery, while others have
large infected wounds that are taking some time to heal. We are glad that we
have not lost any other person since that time, we are managing them perfectly.
“Some have been going home
quietly, and the remaining cases are what the hospital can handle. There is no
need to take them abroad for further treatment, because we are equal to the
challenge.
None of them is beyond our capability and the facilities are here,
and I am happy that we are able to put our acts together and manage them
effectively.”
It could be recalled that In a
statement issued on the Ozubulu massacre by Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Hilary
Odili Okeke, the church confirmed the death toll in the attack was 13.
