It was gathered that the incident happened when the boy jumped into the landlord’s house to retrieve a ball during a game of football.

 

According to Punch, Paul and his fellow schoolmates were playing football on Monday within their Urban Secondary School field in Area N, World Bank Housing Estate in Owerri, the Imo State capital, when the ball entered the next building.

 

However, the ball bounced out and landed in the landlord’s house.

 

In an attempt to retrieve the ball, Paul jumped into the man’s property and was shot around the waist which left him lying critically in pain.

 

Spokesperson of the command, Henry Okoye, confirmed the landlord’s arrest on Wednesday, March 19.

 

“The man has been arrested, and an investigation is ongoing. The victim is currently receiving treatment at the hospital,” the PPRO said.

 

However, Paul’s guardian, Jonathan Odikanwa, who was seen running helter-skelter for surgery on his son told the publication on Wednesday that he was concerned about his child and didn’t want to escalate the issue.

 

“I thank you for coming to interview me. However, I don’t want to escalate the issue for now. I just want my boy to survive this critical period. The X-ray showed that there is no bullet in his body but doctors are wondering why his bowel movements are not working. He is scheduled for surgery for them to look into his stomach and see what is going on there,” he said.

 

“So for now, what I earnestly want from you and everyone else is to join us to pray for him to survive. He’s been crying for water but the doctors are trying to find out what is causing the problem with the bowel movements.”

 

“I know he is in pain but until after the procedure and the success, I don’t want to say anything. Just join us and pray for my son to survive.”

 

Paul has lived with the Odikanwa family for about eight years from where he began schooling and is currently in JSS 1 at the Urban Secondary School Owerri.
