Senator Magnus Abe has been flown to London following injuries he sustained when he was hit with rubber bullets on Sunday morning January 12th 2014 in Port Harcourt, River State.
Abe had already received treatment in two hospitals in Port Harcourt, according to reports by his media aide, Mr Honour Sirawoo. Sirawoo said was first admitted at a hospital in D line area of Port Harcourt but was later transferred to another hospital with better equipment to handle his situation after series of tests.
Dr Mackay Anyanwu who administered first aide to Senator Abe at Krisany Medical services, in D line where he was first rushed to, told newsmen that the Senator was treated for traumatic shock .
He said: “The patient was brought in a state of a shock, as evidenced by low blood pressure. He was restless and he couldn’t communicate or reason coherently. As a first aid, we treated him for traumatic shock because the implication of his state was that there was severe blood trauma and the amount of layers affected could not be detected immediately. This can only be done through haemorrhoid tests’’
