I was called upon at about 10pm when this young man was rushed to the facility with bleeding and pain in the right shoulder. He was said to have been shot by what I suspect to be an Ak47 around the college of Education Gidan Waya.
Gidan Waya is notorious for crimes such as this. In the last 1 week I have had to managed 4 gun shot wounds from the community I am practicing. Some fatal, others not so.

The FRSCN brought in this woman who suffered a fracture of the distal third of the Right tibia and fibula and a laceration of the Achilles tendon from a road traffic accident. (viewer's discretion)
Three businessmen traveling from Nasarawa state, Nigeria, Africa, to Kano state, another state in Nigeria through a village in Kaduna, unbeknownst to them, fell into the trap of some unknown bandits when their bus' tyre had a blow-out at the hot spot of the activities of these bandits. It was already 1am so they decided to pass the night in their car and hopefully get help at the break of dawn. This is a stab wound to the Left chest wall that went through the left nipple, digging through the chest muscles( the two pectoralis) going superiorly and almost nearing the collar bone.
The rural area where I practice is bedeviled with social vices ranging from armed robbery to fulani herdsmen attack to rape to assault etc. On this fateful day as I had just had lunch(at 6pm) after a hectic day, the phone rang. It was the hospital calling. I picked the phone and answered rather shruggingly, "hello". The voice at the other end was that of Emma, the afternoon shift nurse. "Sir they have just rushed in an emergency. The person's intestine is outside, they said he was stabbed". |
