Taiwo Lawal, a one-year-old baby, who was
shot in the head by armed robbers in the Gbagada area of Lagos State on
Sunday needs N500, 000 for treatment.
Taiwo, along with many others were shot by the robbers who robbed victims in various parts of the state with impunity.
Taiwo’s father, Wasiu Lawal, told reporters that the toddler was hit by a stray bullet during the robbery.
He said, “On Sunday afternoon, Taiwo and my neighbours’ children were playing in the compound when the robbers began shooting.
“Taiwo is still toddling. The other children immediately ran into their houses but Taiwo was hit in the head by a stray bullet.”
Eyewitnesses said Taiwo was hit by the
robbers’ bullets when they opened fire on a policeman, Emmanuel, and
another victim, Sikiru Abiodun, who later died on Monday during a
surgery to remove the bullets in his body.
Taiwo and other victims were immediately rushed to Gbagada General Hospital but Taiwo was immediately placed on oxygen and drip.
It was learnt that Taiwo
was subsequently transferred to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital,
Idi-Araba because of the severity of his injury.
Reporters who visited the
hospital, learnt that Taiwo was admitted at Modular Operating Theatre
Centre where a surgery was immediately performed on him.
The victim’s aunty, Mariam, told reporters that the bullet was successfully removed from Taiwo’s
skull but added that he was still in critical condition.
A scan
was done and it was discovered that the bullet pierced through one end
of Taiwo’s skull to the other end but the bullet did not exit through
the other end. The bullet also missed his brain.
