The coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Bayelsa, Mrs Loto Omolayo, on Wednesday said the corps member whose hand was allegedly cut off by armed robbers in the state was responding to treatment.
Omolayo disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) after her visit to the victim at the Niger-Delta University Teaching (NDU) Hospital, Okolobri, Yenagoa.
DAILY POST recalls that the corps member, Luntis Julius, was attacked on Sunday by robbers suspected to be cultists in a Corpers’ Lodge at Angalabiri Community in Sagbama Local Government area of the state.
Omolayo said “I visited the corps member in the hospital for first hand assessment of his condition; he was severely injured, but to the glory of God, he is responding to treatment, though, the hand was not really cut off.
“The doctor had carried out operation on the affected hand and he is getting better. I thank the community and the police for the swift arrest of the suspects.”
