Julius Ogharoko
A corps member, Julius Oghoroko, who was serving with a government
organization in Anambra State today, had narrowly escaped death after
being shot by unknown gunmen.
Sources said that the Delta State born Corps member
was returning from a function with his friend when he was shot. He was
mistakenly identified for a cult member by a rival group and was shot at
point blank range. The assailants fled, sources say.
It was a messy crime scene. Blood gushed out of his body before he
was immediately rushed to the Anambra State Teaching Hospital, in Amaku.
It is there where the wounded man was given emergency treatment, with a
team of doctors feverishly working to save his life.
MORE AFTER THE CUT................................
The Command, through his spokesman, Emeka Chukwuemeka, disclosed that
surveillance had been ‘beefed-up’ around Umunya, in Oyi local
government area of the state, where a source said the incident occurred.
Chukwuemeka said no suspect as been arrested yet, but he attributed
the incident to what he called, “a renewed cult clash” among youth,
especially among students in the area.
Chukwuemeka revealed that residents of the community had informed the
command of “constant fights” between cultists in the area. In this
instance, he stressed that his command responded quickly to their calls
about a case of multiple gunshots. Their fast arrival to the scene
likely saved the life of the corps member, Chukwuemeka said.
A nurse at the Teaching hospital where Julius Oghoroko was taken said that he was responding well to treatment. The bullets,
she said, have since been removed from his body, thereby giving hospital
officials a cautious freedom to speak on his status. They are now
listing him in a critical, but stable condition.
"The bullets measured about eight centimeters in his body, and (he)
got injured at his right biceps of the muscle (and in other areas,") she
revealed.
Tnk Ggod for his life. Wish u quick recovery.
