Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The chairperson of the South Sudan National Students\u2019 Union (SSNSU) is receiving treatment at a hospital in Juba after being involved in a vehicular accident on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Khamis Othow Omot told Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday that he was knocked by a motorcyclist while crossing the road after disembarking from a car in Juba\u2019s Gudele suburb.<\/p>\n

He said he sustained injuries to his head and a lower limb but is responding well to the treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had just returned from an occasion at 7 pm when a Boda-boda knocked me down while I was trying to cross a road after disembarking from the vehicle that dropped me off, he narrated. \u201cI was unconscious and only regained consciousness the following day at Promise Hospital where I am being treated for head injuries. Thankfully, the X-ray results show that there is no fracture but I lost about four teeth and doctors say that I may need facial surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am assuring my fellow students in particular and the South Sudanese in general that all is well and God willingly, I will resume my duties soon,\u201d Othwo added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Akech Majak, the union\u2019s spokesperson, also assured the general public that the student leader was responding well to treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president of the students\u2019 union was on his way home after attending graduation ceremonies for Greater Equatoria and Greater Fashoda students when he was knocked while trying to cross the road,\u201d he said. The incident was not targeted and as we speak, he (Othow) is being treated and is stable.\u201d<\/p>\n
