She added; “On the day of the House of Assembly election, I went to cast my vote at my polling unit, Ward 1. A guy then approached me and said they had been observing me in the community. He said they saw how I gave rice to people and that I was busy promoting the LP. I didn’t know when he brought out a gun from his bag and shot at my leg. When I recovered, I went to the police station.”

She stated further; “That’s what it is. I regret joining the Labour Party, (LP) I suffered; I drank garri without groundnut despite being diabetic patient”
