Mr. Tayo Ajasa, 34, who was hit by a stray bullet from a
drunk Corporal Mohammed Abubakar, might be unable to reproduce again as his right
testicle was badly affected by the bullets.
Tayo, a driver was on his way to get the indomie noodles he
ordered for dinner from a food vendor in Diamond Estate, Amuwo- Odofin, Lagos
when the drunk man, later identified as Corporal Mohammed Abubakar, attached to
Mopol 17, Ondo State, shot indiscriminately at everyone on sight. Like everyone
else, he took to his heels.
Unfortunately for him, the plain-clothed police man shot him at close
range. Bullets pierced his thigh
inflicting grave injuries to his groin and left arm. The event took place on
August 5, 2013.
He was rushed to a clinic at Festac Town, Lagos where after
obtaining a police report at the clinic’s request, he was admitted and is
currently receiving treatment.
The Chief Medical Director of St. Jude’s Hospital, Dr. Jude Mbama
confirmed that Tayo might be unable to reproduce due to the damage done to his
right testicle by the bullets.
“The not-so-pleasant news here is the damage done to the
patient’s productive organ. This is
because his right testicle was badly affected. This situation could be challenging
in terms of productivity. Another challenge we face here is the bill settlement, but as demanded by medical
ethics, our main focus is to get the victim back to his feet within the next
couple of weeks, then we will decide how best to sort that out,” he said.
