At the hospital, a doctor, who did not want her name in print, said, “We have so far removed 14 bullets while the patient has received blood transfusions because as of the time he was brought here, he had lost a lot of blood.”

The Police PRO in the state, DSP Chukwu Ikechukwu, promised to give details of the incident later.

He urged members of the society to partner the police to rid the society of criminal elements.

In January 2019, Amina was given a new role as the Chairman of the committee on collation centers. So the news going around on social media accusing her of spear heading the postponment of the February 16th election is FALSE as she is not in charge of Electoral operations and Logistics but rather Professor Okechukwu Ibeanu.
