The Consul-General of Equatorial Guinea in Nigeria, Juan Mbomio, and wife, Maria, are said to be receiving treatment in a hospital in Calabar, after they were shot during the week.
The Nation gathered that they were shot by armed robbers around the boundary between Rivers and Akwa Ibom states, while on their way to Calabar, where they are based.
Their Toyota Prado Sports Utility Vehicle was ridden with bullets, some which pierced his neck and chest, while the wife was shot in the knee.
A source said the driver, Isaac Eyup, and a consular attaché, Innocencio Ngomo as well as an unidentified police escort, were in the vehicle when the incident happened.
“Some of the bullets touched the consul-general and his wife. He had different gun wounds on the neck and chest, while the wife was shot on the left knee. They dispossessed them of their belongings including money and phones. The robbers took off from the scene and left them.
“The consul-general and those with him managed to find their way to Calabar that night and it was on the way that they discovered that they had serious bullet wounds. They got to Calabar at about 12 midnight and at 1.30am they had started receiving medical attention in the hospital.”
