AWKA – Despite attempts by some skit makers and content creators to undermine the intentions of the Anambra State Government to­wards her citizens as evident in what may be described as mali­cious contents and videos intend­ed to portray government in bad light, Idemili-South Local govern­ment has taken care of the medi­cal bills of the victims of Udo Ga Chi’s sporadic shootings in Ojoto during a massive chase for a crim­inal element in the area recently.

It would be recalled that a cer­tain content creator made a video of himself at Immaculate Heart Hospital Nkpor where he visited some of the victims, including a newborn baby affected by the chaos and requested the Udo Ga Chi team to expedite actions and ensure that the hospital bills of the victims were paid and com­prehensive treatments adminis­tered on them to save their lives.

Idemili-South Local Govern­ment chairman, Dr. Mrs. Amaka Obi, said she personally ensured that the victims got adequate medical attention and all ex­penses paid by the government contrary to the intent of content creators.

Obi told Daily Independent exclusively that the officers in­volved in the shooting including the Divisional Police Officer Nno­bi Police Division are currently in custody for the mayhem un­leashed on the citizens.

Obi also disclosed that the vic­tims have been discharged from the hospital after she saw to it that they got appropriate medical care and attention; describing the in­cident as unfortunate.

She equally stated that the medical bills of the newborn baby that was affected in the fracas have also been paid and that the baby responded to treatment as confirmed by the doctor on duty while the culprits who caused the shooting has been apprehended by the police.
