A woman who used to be a vibrant Tailor narrated her ordeal to PebNews Correspondent of what happened on that fateful day she got injured. She said:" While the women were protesting, I was on my way to buy materials needed for sewing, just after the Government College close to the Health Centre, l felt something hit my leg while on top of a bike just as the Police were throwing tear gas at harmless women protesting.
"Immediately, I fell down, and made attempts to stand and run and l fell again. I was rushed to the emergency ward in Ughelli Hospital where, the Chairman of Oteri Community paid for my treatment. At the hospital, it was diagnosed that my bone was broken.
"Since then, l started paying for my treatment before l was discharged home. I spent a week at the hospital. In the follow-up process, l go to the hospital twice a week for Doctor to dress the wound. As you can see(points), l have a cast on my leg. In two weeks or a month from now, Doctor said, I should come for an x- ray to check if the bones have joined, and if not, he will take me to the theatre. Now, l can't walk and do my daily shores like sewing"
