Nigeria: Victims of Bomb Blast for Psychiatric Therapy

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has promised to assist the discharged victims of the recent bomb blast at Magadishu barrack, Abuja, to undergo psychiatric therapy.

NEMA FCT zonal coordinator, Ishaya Musa Chonoko, made this known yesterday while speaking on phone with Daily Trust on NEMA’s commitments to the victims after they had been discharged from the hospitals.

He said some of the victims need to undergo “psychiatric rehabilitations” because of what they had been through during the blast as some of them are soldiers and drivers.

He said the Minister of Health directed that all the victims should receive “free treatments particularly from Asokoro Hospital, but NEMA also provided the victims with their immediate needs at the hospitals.”

Meanwhile, the agency’s spokesperson Yusha’u Shuaibu said NEMA is trying to also assist them within its mandate and they may even get other directives from government for more assistance.

Meanwhile, medical officers at the Defence Hospital in the Mogadishu Cantonment in Abuja have discharged four victims of the New Year Eve explosion at the Cantonment’s Mammy market.

The victims were admitted at the hospital after sustaining injuries from the blast. They include Monica Ogenede, Ana Ogenede, Erieta Ogenede and Edith Lucky. Another victim Felicia Eje who sustained deep cut in the leg was expected to be discharged yesterday.

One of the medical personnel I. Usan, said those discharged were certified medically fit. The victims, all females, were given absolute medical care before being asked to go away from the hospital. “But Edith Lucky, will have to come back to the hospital to have the fragments of the explosive devise deposited in her leg hauled out,” Usan said.

Ana Ogenede was admitted alongside her 2 daughters, Monica and Erieta.

She sells fish at the marke prior to the explosion and said she had no money now to start business again. She said government should provide financial support to people who lost their property and monies to the blast. “I have to look for money to feed my children,” she said.
