On his part, the Anambra FRSC boss, Mr Irelewuyi, appreciated the state government for giving strong backing to the Corps, restating that officers and men of the Corps in the state are not deterred by any circumstance.

The Chief Medical Director, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka, Dr Joe Akabuike, who stated that bullet wounds sustained by the patient were not badly severe, expressed hope that he would soon be discharged having receiving intensive medicare.
