“The Minister was on an official working visit to some of the districts. He was on his way to one community when he was ambushed. A roadblock had been mounted and shots fired from behind. Unfortunately, one of the bullets hit him….As at now, his condition is very stable and we are praying that he’ll be fine. He was with his bodyguard and the driver but he was the only one wounded because he was sitting in the backseat.”
