| Joshua at LASUTH |
The security guard, Joshua Musa, that was shot by policemen who responded to a distress call at his residence on Saturday at Ikota, Lagos (if you missed it, read it
HERE) is in a critical condition. Doctors at Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, Ikeja are battling to save his life.
Joshua, 22, was
shot in the left side of the chest and abdomen by the policemen, who
responded to a distress call when armed robbers stormed the house. His brother, Nuhu, who
also witnessed the incident, said the five policemen started shooting
sporadically at anything that moved immediately they came into the compound after the robbers
had left.
One of the bullets was said to have gone
through Joshua’s chest and went out of his back. The second one was
lodged in his abdomen but removed in the hospital and he has received four pints of blood since he got to the hospital. Doctors are trying to determine if any bullet fragment was still lodged in his body. Joshua had a pipe passed to the two entry wounds in his chest and abdomen.
A tenant, Femi Badejo, a
banker, pleaded with the policemen that he was a tenant in the house
but they shot at him and when he hid under a car, they kept shooting at
him. Also, a woman who offered to
show the policemen her room just to assure them she resided in the
house was also shot but the bullet only grazed her head.
A bunch of unprofessional radicals, read what the Police PRO had to say after the cut...
