Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience, on Sunday, visited Lance Corporal Umar Muttaka, one of the soldiers on guard at his residence at Otuoke, Bayelsa State, who sustained injury when gunmen attacked his house Tuesday, December 24.

Jonathan, who visited the injured soldier in an undisclosed hospital in Yenagoa, wished him quick recovery, and commended the bravery of the security men on duty in his house, who stood firm and fought for the interest and security of the nation.

Lance Corporal Muttaka is responding to treatment from the injuries he sustained during a gun duel with unknown assailants that stormed the country home of Dr. Jonathan in Otuoke on Christmas Eve, we learnt.

Security has since been beefed up in the residence of the former President both in Yenagoa and Otuoke since the incident. (New Telegraph)
