``So, the orthopedic surgeon, trauma surgeon with other physicians are doing their best so as to ensure her quick recovery and for us, we will make sure that the child continues to receive the best possible care and I will continue to monitor her.


``Please, this should not even be done to an animal talk more of a human; the governor is making a sincere effort to build a society of law and order.
