I later found out that the policeman who opened fire on us, unprovoked, was the same one who had earlier tried to hit me with a gun. I have still not understood why he fired so heartlessly at an unarmed family, when his colleague had asked us to drive on.
We were unsuccessful with getting treatment at two hospitals, before finally ending up at Ikorodu General Hospital.We went to the Idimu Area Command to get a report, but we were told to go back to the hospital because our case was an emergency which did not require a report. The driver of the bus had to go back to the Area Command to try again for a police report. Fortunately, and finally, he was able to obtain one. The staff of Ikorodu Hospital had begun first aid treatment on us by the time the driver returned with the report., but just when we were about to set off, more problems arose: Our good samaritan found out that his bus had run out of fuel. We decided to go back to the Area Command so they could help us with a vehicle to transport us to LUTH.
They then released a vehicle to convey us to LUTH. With the help of the officers, and CSO there, we were given urgent attention, with the police paying the bills of our treatment.While my jaw and right hand sustained damage that still gives me issues today, my wife, however,couldn’t live to tell her story.
