Upon discharge, Suleiman narrated how he was shot during the clash which claimed the life of Channels TV reporter, Precious Owolabi.
He said: ”We heard gunshots close to us, while our driver was about to turn, I couldn’t feel my arm, it was then I realised that I was hit by a bullet and I immediately notified my CDS Officer, Mrs Adama Anabel, who called the attention of the NYSC-FCT Management on the incident.
”I thank God, NYSC, NYSC-FCT Governing Board and National Hospital Abuja for coming to my aid and for the free medical treatments received.”
Before his discharge from National Hospital, Abuja, Sulieman was visited by the Chairman, NYSC-FCT Governing Board, Hajiya Safiya Umar, represented by Director of Youth Development, Mrs Hajarat Ayandele and NYSC FCT Coordinator, Hajiya Walida Siddique.
They collectively appreciated God for saving the Corps Member’s life, and wished him quick recovery.
The Director-General, Brigadier General, Shuaibu Ibrahim, on receiving the just discharged Corps member in his office on Tuesday, thanked God for sparing his life.
