50-year-old publisher of SaharaReporters and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, a survivor of the attack that greeted a peaceful protest at the Unity Fountain in Abuja, says it will take weeks before he can walk well again after the gunshot injury he sustained to the leg on Monday.
He had undergone an urgent medical procedure on his projectile-riddled right leg in Abuja.
The shooting incident had attracted national and international outcry, with the Federal governments being urged to unravel the identity of the shooters and bring them to justice.
Fielding questions on Tuesday evening during a Facebook live session after he was discharged from the hospital, Sowore said before the Unity Fountain shooting, he had spoken with the FCT police commissioner who promised to order his men to reopen the protest ground for a planned demonstration against insecurity in the country.
