Dr. Mangu Kendino, from the A&E department confirmed that sixteen more patients had been brought in on the 12th January, which brought the total number of looting incident cases up to seventy-six. “Majority of the new cases were gunshot wounds, with bush knife wounds which were probably sustained from fights amongst themselves or from security guarding properties that they might have attempted to loot.” “The remainder of these cases were penetrating injuries and lacerations that would have been sustained from bottles or broken glass.” “Patient history of these injuries are sketchy but all these cases are related to the looting incidents.” Meanwhile, admitted cases are being observed and treated with patients expected to make full recoveries in the coming weeks.
