A Rivers State senator who was reportedly shot with a rubber bullet and teargas cannisters earlier today by the Nigerian police in the state is on his way to London for further treatment according to sources in the state.
Senator Magnus Abe was hospitalized earlier today when policemen disrupting a peaceful rally organized by the opposition members in state shot at him with teargas and rubber bullets.
His doctor claimed that the senator’s chest was hit with an object that might have caused internal bleeding therefore necessitating his transfer to the UK for better medical care.
The police in the state however deny that its members hot the Senator, they instead that minimum force was applied in dispersing rally goers at the state’s College of Arts and Sciences because they did not obtain police permit before the gathering.

Congratulations to the Chinese - we heard you have have joined in the race to outer space!
Nigeria would have lived to join you but for now all our money is going on sending our politicians to London for medical treatment - that includes dental check-ups and blood pressure checks!

So all the claims by Amaechi of provision of highly improved, standard healthcare in Rivers state are false, if not why are they rushing him to London for treatment? This is Actual Peoples confusion (APC).

Listen you youth that like supporting politicians, he was shot with a rubber bullet and now within 24hrs flown abroad for treatment. If u are killed you won't even appear in the news talk less of making the headlines. Be wise, let them bring their children to support them. If u like make you go challenge police with riffle, dem go just fire you with live bullet. Bye bye
