Injured Kano Pillars defender, Reuben Ogbonnaya will be re-admitted to undergo surgery to remove a bullet from his head while the duo of Adamu Murtala and Otekpa Eneji will be discharged from the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital tomorrow.
Five players – who were left injured after last week Thursday’s robbery attack on a 25-man contingent bus along Abuja-Lokoja road on their way to Owerri – were re-admitted on Friday.
On Monday this week, Confederation of African Football (CAF) postponed their second round tie in the Caf Champions League against Morocco’s Moghreb Tetouane earlier scheduled for March 14 by a week as its injured players continue to recover from the attack trauma.
Team doctor Idris Ibn Garba confirmed that the injured players are recuperating just as medical treatment is intensified to ensure their full recovery.[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”10″]
“The players are recovering fast – Gambo [Mohammed] is getting better but we are waiting for the management and government to conclude arrangement for his medical trip abroad. Adamu and Eneji will by God’s grace be discharged tomorrow [Wednesday] from the hospital. I have confirmed from the medical personnel attending to them. Before evening tomorrow, they will be released to continue their treatment at home,” Garba told Goal.
“Ogbonnaya still has a bullet in his head which will likely be removed on Wednesday morning. He was asked to come tomorrow morning. We should have done it on Monday but the hospital’s medics had some people in need of surgery to attend to,” he concluded.
