Abuja\u00a0 \u2013 The FCT administration says it will fly victims of the May 29 bomb blast in Zuba to South Africa next week for rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Dr Biodun Olorunfemi, Permanent Secretary in the FCTA, disclosed this on Tuesday while fielding questions from newsmen during a visit to Asokoro and Wuse General Hospitals where the victims are receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

He said the administration would ensure that the victims continue to receive treatment \u201ceven after they are discharged.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThose being taken abroad are those who lost their limbs in the Zuba bomb blast.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe limbs will be replaced in South Africa through an arrangement made by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA),\u2019\u2019 Olorunfemi said.<\/p>\n

He said the doctors in South Africa were waiting for the victims to be sent down as quickly as possible and \u201cI have assured them that this would be done within the next one week.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Dr Sule Ahmed, Orthopedic Surgeon with the Asokoro General Hospital, noted that the major challenge facing the patients was rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

He said that five of the patients were in Asokoro General Hospital while\u00a0 three\u00a0 were in Wuse General Hospital, adding\u00a0 that they were well and in stable condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are being fed free, but the major challenge facing them now is psychological as they are going to be fitted with artificial limbs in South Africa,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Peter Ayuba, an engineer and one of the victims of the Zuba bomb blast, thanked God for\u00a0 saving his life,\u00a0 and the government\u00a0 for offering victims\u00a0 free treatment.<\/p>\n

Miss Esther Mbalisi, one of the victims of the Mogadishu Cantonment bomb blast of Dec. 31, 2010, however, complained that she had been neglected in the last three months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been trying, but in the last three months we have not received any treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initial arrangement was that they would fly us out for further treatment but nothing has been done in this respect; we are still waiting to hear from the government,\u2019\u2019 she said. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
