However, Dr Sule added that other victims had received medication and had been discharged, but Mrs Oyehunwa remained in the hospital for further tests.

“We have to take her into the X-Ray unit for her to undertake a test on her buttocks, to be sure there is no foreign object in her body.

“She is out of the X-Ray unit, walking by herself, which shows that she’s fast recovering from the injury she sustained on her buttocks”, he said.

Meanwhile, the Executive Chairman of Kabba/Bunu Local Government, Hon. Moses Olorunleke has ordered that all beer parlours in Kabba should be closed by 7 pm.

Also, he directed commercial motorcycle operators, popularly called Okada to suspend their activities by 10 pm, saying that whoever goes against this directive would be made to face the law.
