A doctor working at the hospital where Adan Ali Mohamed was admitted revealed that he sustained a spinal cord injury having suffered a gun shot wound.
According to reports, the bullet entered through his neck and exited through the back leaving him severely injured and hence he would require a specialized procedure.
“When the injury happened, the patient could not sense his legs and when he was brought, we managed to take care of him immediately,” the medical expert explained
Mohammed upon reaching the hospital after well-wishers rushed him to hospital after witnessing the robbery, could not feel his legs causing the doctors to perform a Computed tomography (CT) Scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
“We did imaging, a CT Scan, and MRI. That confirmed our fears which shows that he has got a serious injury in his spinal cord. He will require a procedure to stabilise the spine and decompress the spinal cord to give him a chance for recovery.”
A relative of Mohammed revealed to to the press that the businessman was carrying Ksh 4 Million in cash before being accosted and shot in the neck by a robber riding on another motorcycle.
